Scorecard

Nikki Haley lost in South Carolina yesterday, but it wasn't the rout that Trump has been blustering about for weeks.

And some interesting numbers are emerging.
  • Haley got 40% of the votes
  • 60% of her voters say they won't vote for Trump if he's the nominee
  • 60% of 40% is 25%
  • 25% of Haley's share of the SC vote is 75,000
  • Rough guess - taken countrywide, 3½ million GOP votes won't go to Trump
If we get a pretty fair turnout again this year, and if the split is roughly consistent across all the states, Trump will lose by 10,000,000 in the popular vote, and the electoral college could be something like 360-178.

And it could be a lot worse for him if he gets convicted of just about anything.

But, goddammit ...
DON'T GET COCKY
GET TOGETHER
GET TO WORK
GET SHIT DONE

And this clip isn't of great import, but if you notice, Haley keeps giving victory speeches even as she acknowledges that she lost.
