Joe Biden coasts to victory, Nikki Haley upended by ‘None of these candidates' in thinly contested Nevada primary

[NY Post] GOP Caucuses are Thursday and those come with delegates. Trump wasn't on the ballot
President Biden emerged victorious in Nevada’s Democratic primary Tuesday, while former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley suffered a humiliating defeat in the Republican contest, where former President Donald Trump’s name wasn’t even on the ballot.

"None of these candidates" was the top vote-getter on the GOP side of the bill, with the option receiving more than 60% of the vote when the race was called by the Associated Press.

Haley was the only major GOP candidate that who signed up for the Nevada primary, which has no delegates at stake, over the state GOP-run caucus, which will be held Thursday and has 26 delegates up for grabs.

Facing virtually no competition, Haley only amassed 33.2% of the vote in a contest marked by low turnout.

Only 11,802 total ballots had been cast in person as of 2 p.m. local time, according to the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office.

#1 You'd need a heart of stone not to laugh at this.

Coasting is about all he can do.

#5 I have held the belief for many years that "None of the above" should be a candidate in all elections. Then, if "None of the above" wins, a new election must be held within a month in which all of the candidates who lost to "None of the above" would be ineligible and prohibited from running.

#6 ^ Agreed. Losing to "none of the above" should result in a lifetime ban from elective office.

Three reversed decisions should result in judges being cashiered.

Serving on a jury that wrongfully convicts should result in banishment from jury duty and ineligibility to be tried before a jury.

Prosecuting a wrongful conviction should get a prosecutor similarly banned.

#7 My fave headline regarding Ms. Haley's showing:

SECOND TO NONE

#10 I think at this point anyone sending her money in the hope she can knock Trump out of the race should send more.

Because, as Riverboat Slim said, "Suckers aren't supposed to have money."

#11 Haley is in the race until her Democrat donor money runs out.

#12 You can do the same thing by undervoting a contest. I like the explicit “these choices suck,” option as then everyone knows you did it on purpose.
