trump wins virginia by 28 points. virginia on paper was one of the most demographically friendly to nikki haley states that was voting yesterday on super tuesday. had she been performing with the group she's done best with at those same levels in virginia as we saw in new hampshire and south carolina, this state would have been very competitive statewide last night. instead she's losing it by 28 points. but virginia is an open primary. everyone could participate in it if they wanted to. this was true in many, many states. it was true in south carolina, it was true in michigan, independents, a huge chunk of the new hampshire electorate could participate there, and i think there's a lot of evidence coming out of all of these primaries that a very significant factor in the republican electorate in the rote was people who voted for biden in 2020 who will never vote for trump, they're motivated by their opposition to donald trump, but the rules allowed them to participate in these republican primary, and they obviously sid
