Because Democrats are switching over to vote in the primary for the weakest Republican and then will switch over back to the Democrat general election. It is even happening in Idaho on local elections.

Not sure what you are saying.
but you do realize that these are primaries.
R's are running against other R's
And D's are running against other D's.

I thought she would drop out. Then that would leave Trump as the only canidate which I think he would begin having access to daily security briefings. That may be the reason for her staying as well as Soros checks keep clearing. Reality for her becoming the nominee is a Trump assassination moving her as the only R choice.
Sadly, during his victory speech, DJT praised Lindsay Graham. Does he ever learn anything about these dirt bags? At least the crowd wasn't fooled...they booed Lindsay. To Trump, I say, "Get that head in the game to recognize all those who hold the proverbial knife to stab you in the back when the occasion presents itself. This is a repeat of your biggest errors the last time around.

The opposition is working hard to imprison him so she can replace him. Then lose. Then she is offered a very well paying job in the private sector or some admin position.
Remember, they said not too long ago that Trump could not win SC, now if he doesn't win by 110+ points he under performed. It is a case of moving goal posts. She lost her own state.... she is out, but will continue to fight for those perks.
They also said Biden did so much better at 97%, but he was unopposed........

Very true, but in many cases Ds are allowed to vote in Rs.
IN Ga, we had the choice when I went to vote for a D ballot or R ballot..... many Ds planned to vote in the R election for this very reason.

It sounded like they were talking about the election and not the primaries.
2nd D's can vote in R's but it's only pretend. It's still only a primary.
ETA: It's not about who is voting but who is running. R v. R, D v D.

I saw that, they did NOT like that two faced asshat being up there with Trump. Lets face it, if the numbers were closer in nikki's favor lindsey would be on on HER stage licking her high heels. Trump had better understand that Graham is a lying snake who'd as soon screw him in the ass as look at him.

She is the apparatchik for the Deep State. She's staying because they pay her bills. As long as she stays in, she gets all the free media exposure that follows Trump. Ultimatly, she will run as a third party candidate, "No Labels", as she has already stated over and over again SHE, can't trust to return the country back to Trump.
No Labels is the third-party movement of the Uni-Party. They will never win, but if they take 10-12% of the Anti-Trump Republican vote, its 4 more years of the Swamp in control, regardless of who they sit behind the desk in the Oval.
We're losing our Country right before your very eyes...

Yes I realize these are the primaries. As I recall the uniparty dems made biden the nominee on super tuesday knocking out all other candidates and the circling the wagons around the 'winner' of super tuesday.
Will the uniparty rinos make nimrata the nominee in the same manner? I do not follow things outside of my state to know if such a thing is mathematically possible but I am wondering if it would be an opportunity to cheat the uniparty pick into the nominee position.

Primaries for the incumbent are supposed to be a non-event. There's almost never any real opposition, no drama, and no enthusiasm. They're supposed to win with 90-some percent.
Trump, on the other hand, is attempting something we haven't seen in our time - coming back for a non-consecutive second term. And no matter where they want to move the goal posts, he's doing a pretty good job so far.

I'm sure they'd like to try, but Trump has such widespread and authentic support that I don't think it'd be easy at all.
Back in 2020, if you recall, the Dems had a list of complete losers, including Biden. Nobody was getting any traction, and they were headed to a divided convention where it was possible Bernie Sanders would have the most delegates but still not enough to win.
Then, as Covid was making its entrance, the party elders, led first by Clyburn in SC, decided they'd declare Joe the best choice, and the rest was history. The dem voters blindly obeyed, and gave him the momentum on Super Tuesday.
