Nikki Haley BEATS Donald Trump for the very first time in Washington D.C. Republican primary in what could be her only win heading into Super Tuesday
[MAIL] Nikki Haley
…how awful it must be to go from golden-ish girl to laughingstock in a few short months, poor dear…
beat Donald Trump for the very first time in the Washington, D.C., Republican primary Sunday night handing her what might be her only win heading into Super Tuesday.

The D.C. Republican Party reported Haley won 62 percent compared to Trump's 33 percent with only 2,035 voters participating. That makes Haley the first Republican woman to ever win a primary in U.S. history.

The result in D.C. comes one day after Trump's clean sweep of GOP primaries in Idaho, Michigan and Missouri on Saturday as he inches closer to a rematch with Biden in November.

Her win in Democrat-run and urban D.C. shakes Trump's stronghold on nearly every facet of the Republican Party, but it isn't expected to make a massive impact nationwide.

Trump and Haley were vying for the district's coveted 19 Republican delegates - out of 2,429 total to the Republican National Convention in July - in the race that came down to the wire. Now going into Super Tuesday, Trump has 244 delegates to Haley's 43 with 1,215 needed for the GOP nomination.

D.C. was seen as Haley's best shot at beating Trump in any primary race as the former president is expected to sweep the 15 upcoming Super Tuesday states.

LOL! Nikki Haley wins DC's Republican primary, her first victory of 2024

[10 News] Washington is overwhelmingly Democratic, with just around 23,000 registered Republicans. In the 2020 election, Biden secured 92% of the vote in the district.

#3 /\ 2,035 voters government workers and feather merchants.

Other pejoratives also apply, some equally distasteful, others more so. All with great accuracy and merit.

How many Ballot Mules did DC have arrested since 2020?

Need I say more?

BTW: I should have also asked.
What was the cross over voter numbers of LSD's voting for her.
To make it look like she is viable?

Doing a quick check.
Those with (R) Party affiliation among adults in the Washington, DC metro area was less than 27% (R) and 70+ % (D & I).

Super Tuesday will tell.

#10 She said the only reason she pledged to support the eventual Republican nominee was to get on the stage at the debates. Why would I trust her now?

#20 Up until Trump, the GOP was considered the party of the establishment. It is now the party of the people. If Trump wins in November, maybe we will see Nicki and all the clowns evacuated by helicopter from the National Mall to NYC.

#22 The best thing that Congress could do is let congress critters vote from their home state. They would only have to appear once a year at the inauguration.

#24 ^ Yes. She signed a pledge to support the nominee. Now she's hedging on that. Because "her word..."
