No other republicans on the primary ballot but he still lost... priceless 👀



Donald Trump is the only name on the New Hampshire Republican ballot. Despite that, he just lost Dixville Notch to Mike Bloomberg, as a write-in. #NHPrimary


They bussed those pretend republicans in right? Can't be real republicans!!!!
Let this be the message from this district, not the Bloomberg democratic nod, which is rather dispiriting...

If I recall correctly, there were five votes from that precinct.

Four people voted Democratic:

Pete - 1
Bloomberg - 2
Bernie - 1

One person voted Republican:

Bloomberg (write-in)

Like I said--hardly a conspiracy.

Early voting starts here in Texas next week, so decision time is near. I’ve been a Warren supporter, but I’ve been impressed with the Bloomberg ads I’ve seen. They’ve been hitting the topics that are important to voters. I still think Warren would be the better president because I like her policies and energy, but I think Bloomberg can beat Trump. I know polls show that all our major candidates beat Trump, but I’m doubtful. Bloomberg knows Trump and can and will attack him personally on his business failures and corrupt practices in New York as a real estate developer. Trump’s base won’t care how crooked he is, but independents will.

Sadly, I can’t vote solely on policy preferences this year. It’s who has the best chance of beating Trump.

Bloomberg said that if he doesn't get past the Primary, he will still expend every dime he had intended to spend to make sure the Dem candidate wins. He HATES trump with the heat of a thousand suns. So, go ahead and support Warren (I am too) rest assured that we have Bloomberg $$ on the Dem side either way.

Bloomberg's campaign (and ads!) have put him high up on trump's enemies list. He has put himself, his family, friends and collogues at risk if mf45 wins a second term. There is no turning back now.

but I know a great portion of the country does, so maybe I should start paying attention to what the rest of the country likes.

Same in politics, I'm afraid. As much as I'd like to live in a country like Norway, at this point, I don't. We just need beat Trump and move away from the precipice of fascism.

As an anti-Trumper, he's literally priceless. But as a candidate, he's got plenty of vulnerabilities. He may have more value as a campaign manager.

ballot boxes with votes for people they never plan to support anyway. That was the whole strategy. Rat fuck the Democratic results, skewing the vote one way or the other in one candidate's favor - the one identified by rethug strategists who have made the political calculus that they're they're the weakest, and, therefore, easiest for them to rig the the *2020 Election* results in favor of Marmalade Machiavelli.

Who we think will beat Trump.

But in the Primary, I am voting for who will make a great president.

If all voters would vote for who they want in the Primary, this would all sort itself out.
