[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To their credit, Republicans did have a real primary. And Nikki Haley did remarkably well against the former president. Unfortunately, anti-Trump sentiment within the GOP was split between Haley, DeSantis, Scott, Vivek and the others during the early primaries, which allowed Trump to gather the wins and consolidate a majority of delegates. If it had just been Trump against Haley from the beginning, I think the end result might have been different. Trump was not winning more than 50 percent of voters in those early primaries.

But, in any event, Republicans had a true primary with several plausible candidates. There was a competitive process and voters had a chance to choose among several alternatives.

Contrast this to the coronation that Democrats chose. Democrats decided not to have a competitive, democratic primary that allowed voters to choose among several alternatives. Democrats decided that America's only alternative to Trump would be a rapidly declining unpopular geriatric who will be 86 in his second term. It is democrats that chose autocracy. For democrats, it is the elites that choose who will be president, not voters. Might as well call it the Monarchy Party.   [/quote]
You must be new to politics. How much of a primary was there on the Republican side in 2020? [/quote]
