when should we start hearing official results?


Varies by precinct, but mine was always about 60-90mis in before counts started appearing.

Have to listen to each candidates speaker speak. And then, laugh at Trumps for like 10 minutes

Well maybe you'll get to laugh at Biden for 4 more years!

Or people could vote for someone who can beat Biden instead of thinking of the stiffy they get from Trump getting the nomination, never the win though for President


Who's gonna beat trump in the primary? Who has a real chance? I thought so.

But Ron DeSantis does.
And that does make a difference with people like me.

I can disagree with much of his political beliefs, but he loves this country. And wants it to be the best for his littles like I do for the 15 year old Demon Spawn.

My Boo Face deserves better than what we have had for the last 16 years.
I forget when his term was...

Well, looks like Trump really is going to avoid all of the debates. It was pretty clear he'd get exposed in them, but even I didn't think he'd be this frightened of them.

Remember when he was cowardly avoiding the first debates, and even MAGA said it was just the first few and he'd go to the latter ones?

DeSantis could win if fewer people were obsessed with trashing tweets

But own it.

You would rather have an egoist in office than man that could actually lead.

Keep your stiffy though.

Nothing will defeat Trump.

He's convinced too much of an emotional hold on his followers and they won't listen to any rational discussion. Every debate on the issues turns into "well, it doesn't matter if he'd be a better POTUS, he won't be Trump because we're voting for Trump"

I did.

But unlike you, I don't resign myself to people.

I want better.
And there will be better candidates than Trump in the General

Do you really think Trump can do anything starting in 2025?

That is like my idea of finding a unicorn in the wild.


We don't have to accept Trump if we don't want Biden.

God we a screwed.

It's just a damn shame we are going to have to choose between two octogenarian fruads who care infinitely more of themselves than this country's future. Especially when there's a candidate with real tangible results of conservative leadership.



Name one US president who did not think infinitely more of himself than the country's future.
Dwight Eisenhower, Harry Truman, Reagan, Coolidge, in the last 100 years.

I didn't make a comment about defeating him.

I only commented that nominating him was a loser for the general.

But, the way to beat Trump is to get close in the first several caucuses (or is it cauci?) and primaries. This would show that the polls were WAY off.

His inevitability is his main selling point right now to everyone that isn't diehard MAGA. If that bubble gets popped, he'll be in a HUGE fight going forward. And he WILL have to debate and really campaign, not what he's been doing.

Tonight we'll see if that can happen.

There is a local tv station here. Not going to lie, there's a ton of trump hats on in the room. The whole county is in the high school right now. Then we break up in the what part of the county you live. See a few Haley pins also. Just got in

Based on some of the reports I've seen so far, rural area folks ARE having some trouble making it in.

That's bad for Trump, because as we all know from repetitive learning, rural America loves Trump, and if they can't make it, that will hurt him.

Unfortunately that's a good sign for Haley. If she's getting the suburbs, suburbs likely have better infrastructure to make it easier to get in and out of.

So far, turnout seems good. Our area was hit about as hard as anywhere in the state for weather. All age ranges. Sitting by Haley supporters. Interesting to hear their reasoning I would say a large % of the younger people here have trump apparel on though
