DW and I almost always vote Dem. Looking at the VA primary we are considering voting for Haley as a vote against Trump.
In a Presidential contest of Biden v Trump, our votes go to Biden without question. If it’s Biden v Haley I think DW’s vote might go to Haley.

Haley should stop trying to thread the needle and just go after Trump directly. There is clearly a significant portion of the Republican Party that, for whatever reason, is tired of Trump and wants to move on. They are probably desperate for a real choice.

hysterical of Trump to say this: "Trump began by labeling Haley an imposter who had claimed a victory earlier in the evening."
Pot, meet kettle. LOL
Trump is an imposter who had claimed he won the 2020 election when, in fact, he lost, bigly.

Yep. Trump has lost his mojo.
What's become clear is that his campaign speeches aren't inspiring the voters. The speeches are now quiet (in comparison), meandering, mostly about his trials, backwards-looking, etc. He's run out of material, he's no longer fresh, and he no longer has the energy to effectively deliver. Summer/fall is trending ugly for him in that capacity.

They would have to switch their registration to Republican or Independent to vote in the Republican Primary. Where is any evidence that Democrats did so?
Exit interviews.

Many moderate dems are also concerned about immigration. If you want something done, you need to support moderate dems in down ticket races across the country. They need strength to push back against the far left. That strength come from numbers.

You can’t expect the conservative corporate media to just let go of their horse race. And you certainly shouldn’t expect them to stop boosting the Republican; what else would they do?! Write, truthfully and without varnish, some thinkpieces about how Trump is unfit for office and should be in prison? No no no no, my friend! Philip Bump in the Wapo today has an opinion piece about how he thinks youngsters are becoming right wingers.
They are a group trying to get fascism into office. They’re certainly not going to “give Biden his flowers.”

He squeaked over 50%. I guess that technically counts as a win. Another anemic one for an effective incumbent, though.

The primary was not sanctioned by the DNC so it did not elect pledged delegates to the national convention. Democrats did not want NH to go first. That’s why Biden wasn’t on the ballot and did not campaign in NH and why Democratic turnout was light.
