Is NeoCon Nikki Stuck on Stupid?

By Brian Cates

Well that’s two GOP primary/caucuses in our rear-view mirror thus far into what is shaping up to be a truly historical 2024 election year.

Last night President Donald J. Trump won the New Hampshire primary by 11 points over his sole remaining challenger of any consequence: former South Carolina governor and his own former UN Ambassador, Nikki Haley.

In a convoluted concession speech acknowledging she’d just lost the NH primary to Trump, Haley vowed to continue ‘fighting the establishment’, and refusing to step aside and allow a ‘coronation’ of Donald Trump as the undisputed GOP candidate.

Apparently Haley is about to spend the next month stuck on stupid with the message that Donald Trump is now ‘the establishment’ and she’s ‘fighting the establishment’ by refusing to drop out of the race she clearly can’t win.

Ponder that for a second. Haley is now calling the guy the political elites of this country have relentlessly tried to undermine, sabotage and outright destroy for going on 8 years now ‘the establishment’.

Is she stuck on stupid, or is this just an act?

Well perhaps something is going on here. By staying in to New Hampshire, Haley just forced the surfacing of NGO’s that gaming the current primary system.

Up until the voting actually started, Real Politics aggregate score for Trump’s lead among GOP voters in New Hampshire was 19.3 points.

But the final results of the primary show Trump winning the state by ‘only’ 11.3 points.

So…were the polls wrong? Were they off by more than 8 points, and Trump really didn’t have the massive lead most pollsters gave him?

Well…yes and no. The final results **are** accurate insofar as that goes, BUT there’s a big caveat.

The polls were likely also accurate, but we’ll never know because of the thousands of Democrat voters that switched to the ‘undeclared’ status specifically to cast a vote against GOP candidate Donald Trump by voting for Nikki Haley.

Results showed that a whopping 70% of Haley voters in the NH primary were not registered Republicans. Ponder that for a minute. A massive amount of the 133,000+ votes that Haley got in that primary on Tuesday night were from people who aren’t even members of the Republican party, but they’re still being allowed to vote in GOP primaries and caucuses and ‘help’ the Republican party establishment pick the ‘right’ candidates for the general election in November.

Anybody under the illusion that this massive movement of Democrat voters changing to undeclared status is ‘organic’? Like, its just happening on its own?

Well its not. And there is plenty of evidence that its not.

An internet researcher who goes by @ChiIIum on X/Twitter posted a thread giving extensive detail into a company called “Primary Pivot” and the role it just played in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Because of fanatical and well-funded & well-organized groups like Primary Pivot moving thousands of diehard Democrats to ‘undeclared’ status so they could vote in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday night, it appears about 8-9 points was shaved off of Trump’s final margin of victory.

Yes, Democrat NGO’s are enthusiastically gaming the current system that either allows same-day registration to vote, or allows ‘undeclared’ persons to vote in GOP primaries and caucuses to skew the results as much as possible.

Notice after what happened in Iowa, and again just last night in New Hampshire, a whole lot of people are suddenly ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS:

• Is this sending waves of ‘undeclared’ Democrat voters into GOP primaries a new thing or have they ALWAYS been doing this? How long has this stuff been going on?
• Why has the current GOP leadership created a primary/caucus system that lets massive numbers of people who aren’t even in the party cast votes to determine GOP candidates for office?
• How long have many GOP primary down ballot races for state and local offices been influenced by stealth Democrat voters crossing over to ‘help’ the ‘right’ UniParty candidates get on the November general election ballot?
• Given what everybody can now clearly SEE is going on, how Dem NGO’s like Primary Pivot are ENTHUSIASTICALLY GAMING THE CURRENT SYSTEM to dramatically skew the voting results, is the current GOP Party leadership going to allow this kind of thing in the future?
• If the current GOP Party leadership **refuses** to take any action at all now that this gaming of the current primary/caucus system is being laid bare for all to see, what would that tell us?

While this Democrat activist group’s chicanery in New Hampshire was able to take what should have been a 19+ point blowout for Trump and carve off about 8 points from Trump’s final margin, Primary Pivot and similar NGO’s have a far more daunting task awaiting them Haley’s ‘sweet’ home state of South Carolina.

That’s because Haley isn’t running behind Trump by ‘only’ 19 points in the polls; she’s trailing him by around 30 points. I don’t think there’s that many fanatical Democrats willing to undertake an effort to switch their party status to ‘undeclared’ or whatever in order to try to ‘stop Trump’ by voting for Haley in the South Carolina GOP presidential primary. At most, they might be able to shave off about 10-12 points of Trump’s lead. But Haley would still lose by double digits, even so.

Stop for just a minute and ponder just how freaking weird and strange this current primary season has gotten in such an awful hurry.

We’re only two races in and Trump’s lone remaining challenger is having to count on massive numbers of Democrats gaming the current GOP primary system just to hide and obscure how large Trump’s popular support really is.

South Carolina isn’t actually the next state in which delegates are up for grabs. That’s Nevada on February 8, but because of a truly weird situation where BOTH a caucus and a primary are being held on different dates, Trump is running unopposed in the caucus and Haley is running in the primary only. But its the caucus that will award Nevada’s 26 delegates, and so because Trump is running unopposed he already has those nailed down.

South Carolina has 50 delegates, and its becoming clear that Haley wants to use Primary Pivot shenanigans to grab as many of those 50 as she can for herself.

I suppose we should actually THANK Haley and her big pockets Democrat donors for doing this, for refusing to drop out after that humiliating Iowa butt-walloping and soldiering on to the double-digit New Hampshire defeat, and now obstinately vowing to plow ahead to South Carolina.

If Haley and the team behind her weren’t doing this, a massive spotlight would not have been suddenly lit up and held on Primary Pivot and other nefarious NGO’s out there who are desperately trying to influence GOP primaries. And people are rightly starting to wonder if these NGO’s are doing this stuff with the tacit approval and blessing of the GOP Party establishment.

Now that everybody can clearly see what’s been going on, pressure can be brought to bear on the Republican Party leadership, who are all establishment through and through, into changing their easily corrupted primary system to make it tamper-proof.
