A whole swath of GOP voters appears firmly committed to not voting for Trump in November.
Donald Trump has a problem no matter what happens in New Hampshire on Tuesday night: There’s a whole swath of the Republican electorate and a good chunk of independents who appear firmly committed to not voting for him in November if he becomes the nominee.
It’s an issue that became starkly apparent in polling ahead of the Iowa caucuses, when an NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll of voters in that state found that fully 43 percent of Nikki Haley supporters said they would back President Joe Biden over Trump. And it’s a dynamic that has been on vivid display as the campaign shifted this week to New Hampshire.
“I can’t vote for Trump. He’s a crook. He’s too corrupt,” said Scott Simeone, 64, an independent voter from Amherst, who backed Trump in 2016 and 2020. “I voted for him, and I didn’t realize he’s as corrupt as he is.”
You’ll look back on this and cringe after you graduate high school.
I’m cringing at your simplistic understanding of the electorial collage right now. You vote blue no matter who types are pulling the Overton window right just as hard as the republicans.
Yeah that makes no sense whatsoever but you said it with complete conviction. Very 2024 of you.
Look at when the window has shifted in the past few decades – when Republicans win.
And, it’s electoral* and college*. If you’re going to discuss the Overton window, please get even more basic terminology correct.
Ok
