Friend,
Last night went about how we
expected. Trump jumped out to an early lead over Nikki Haley, and most
major news networks called the primary with less than 20% of precincts
reporting. It’s another victory for Trump, but the victory came in a
mildly interesting fashion.
Haley ended up with a little over
43% of the vote when everything finished up. It’s obviously not enough
to take the state, but it’s definitely enough to hurt Trump’s ego. We
know this because he stayed up all night “truthing” out messages (in
all caps and with typos of course) complaining about everything other
than the truth: he’s weaker than people realize and he knows
it.
In case you missed it, we
compiled some of the reactions from NH voters leaving the
polls. Registered
Republicans who had voted for Nikki Haley. Why did they vote for
Haley? Because they know that Trump is wrong for America. He’s
political poison.
These are the voters Trump should
be terrified of. People like the 138,000 who voted for Haley out of
fear. Out of desperation. Out of exhaustion.
Instead of these voters just
staying home in November, we need them to get out to the polls. We
need their votes to ensure a win for democracy. Help
us motivate these voters and show them that Trump is weak, as weak as
he’s been, and with your help, we can make sure he loses – and loses
badly – in November.
