Trump claimed tonight that he's never seen the Republican Party more unified.  Everyone says the race is essentially over, which I think is correct.  But if so, why are over 40% still voting for someone other than Trump?

He's pretty much a lock to win the nomination, but Haley still pulling this many votes suggests there are a lot of Republicans who still oppose him despite his inevitability.

It is also noteworthy that neither he nor his supporters are saying or doing anything to try to win them over.

I just flat won't vote for either one. Republicans have lost their way.

Guess I will worry about trying to go fishing this spring...

Nimarata may be staying because she knows Trump will be assassinated and nomination will be hers.

With the likely high number of Dems crossing over to vote for Haley, her ~40% showing in her home state is exceptionally dismal. But, I’m stating the obvious.

Graham booed during Trump's South Carolina victory speech

"When I’m in trouble on the left, I call up Lindsey Graham and he straightens it out," Trump said.

The prime directive is to assure Biden and his crime family is booted out of the white house. Like Trump or not, and I'm no fan at all, dividing the Party and the money flowing to this election only throws a lifeline to Biden. Get out Nikki. We are free to write in yours or anyone's name on election day, but stop, just stop.

She will keep up the campaign and tactics, because the Dems are heavily funding her to do so.  Right up to the convention.  Then she will get wall-to-wall coverage by the press.

There's a percentage in that - Not necessarily assassinated, but taken off the table... When she is positioned to walk into the nomination. So I don't expect she will drop out until the last moment is guaranteed.

Other candidates "paused" their campaigns, and all will be against Haley when they step back in.  Interesting Times.

I still think that Haley may be privy to information about Trump that we're not aware of.  She has spent a boatload of money and still plans on spending 7 figures on ads.  That's quite a lot.

Again, and I'm sure you're tired of hearing this, but, IMHO I still don't think they are going to let Trump near the WH; one way or another, it's just not going to happen.

Where is it supposed to go then if it doesn't get spent?

We don't boot a crime family out of the White House by bringing another crime family in. You don't achieve anything that way.

Can you tell us about Trump's crimes?  Hurting Liberals' feelings is not a crime.  Being wealthy isn't one either.

Open Primary. At least some of that 40% is likely from the 40% that allegedly approves of Biden.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

'Ron DeSantis' is the third name that appears on my GOP primary ballot in nine days.  That's where my vote will go.
