Although the raced was "called" about a minute after the polls closed in South Carolina by the networks and poll tracking entities, I have waited until nearly all the votes have been reported. It's obvious that South Carolina Republicans want President Trump in the White House again. This is not a shock. The only mystery was whether Nikki friendly PACs who pitched Democrats to cross over if they didn't bother to vote in the uncontested Democratic primary would succeed in padding her Republican support with Democrats. Have no idea how many did, but it certainly didn't make the outcome close.

Nikki says she is going to press on. Uh, why? There is no super secret groundswell of support amongst Republicans that are going to assert themselves shortly. Nikki is wasting somebody's money.

I bear her no ill will, but this is bordering on the psychotic. I know that most everyone who runs for President is megalomaniacal (or possibly suffering under a messianic delusion). So being abnormal is not a disqualifier. Being delusional is.

For your mental health and ours, Nikki, please just stop. Now.

    At this point, I have begun to suspect that her supporters love seeing her crushed. Over and over, again and again. In a purely misogynistic sort of way, I mean. And, at some point, the wags will be talking about how Trump has toured the country beating women. Not as bad as if he put the family dog on the car roof or something, but still.

    Funny kind of "supporter".

    I'll be helping run, as well as voting in, my local Idaho R presidential caucus next Saturday. We were wondering whether it would be a complete snoozer with only one candidate still officially in the race. Guess not! Should be more hectic but more fun.

    I prefer they waste it now on her, rather than spend it in November on FJB or whoever actually runs then.
