 Trump wins Michigan GOP convention
by Caroline Vakil - 03/02/24 1:38 PM ET

Former President Trump is projected to win the Michigan Republican convention after winning the state’s GOP primary earlier this week, according to results from Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ). 

The numbers deliver another, albeit expected, blow to rival Nikki Haley, who has pledged to stay in the race despite the fact that she has not won any of the early Republican nominating contests.

Trump coasted to victory on Tuesday during the Michigan GOP primary, which awards 16 delegates, beating her by 40 points. Republicans also held a convention on Saturday, which awards 39 delegates, after Democrats changed the date of the primary.

DDHQ estimated by Saturday afternoon that the former president won 33 delegates in the GOP convention. Six delegates remain up for grabs.

Holding a primary under the new date would have been out of compliance with rules from the national GOP, so Michigan Republicans decided to hold a primary and a convention, with the majority of delegates being awarded during the convention as a compromise.

I remember Hillary Clinton winning Michigan in 2008.  Yet the DNC assigned all of Michigan's elector appointments to Obama delegates.  It doesn't really matter who gets the most votes when it comes to Michigan.

I didn't realize that.  No wonder Hillary feels cheated; but it was by her own party.  :shrug:

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
