Well he did mumble and he called Laken Riley...Lincoln Riley.

Sure, that happened.

No, almost nothing he said passed fact checks.

Yeah, except for all the things that did.

Oh no! Somebody with a speech impairment mispronounced a name he didn't practice how to say!

No, almost nothing he said passed fact checks.

Can you give an example of that?

Can you give an example of that?

His impairment is he is senile. An example? His whole speech! Here, I will give you one:“The Alabama Supreme Court shut down IVF treatments across the state.” FALSE. No, Alabama did not shut down IVF treatments across the state. The Alabama Supreme Court decided that frozen embryos can be considered children under state law. The ruling did not make IVF treatments illegal in the state

It did happen. Yeah, except all the things that didn't...

That's not senility. That's a simplification to make the Republicans look bad on a timely political issue.

It only made Biden look bad because it wasn't true.

Despite having dropped out, Haley's still getting in the teens in state GOP primaries.

In Kansas’ primary on March 19, for instance, Trump secured 75 percent of the vote—impressive if he were facing active competition, but troubling given the competition had all withdrawn. Haley got 16 percent of the vote in Kansas, while 5 percent voted for “none of the names shown.”

In Arizona’s primary on the same day, Trump won 79 percent of the vote, while Haley won 18 percent. The former president also failed to crack 80 percent of the vote in Ohio.

Despite having dropped out, Haley's still getting in the teens in state GOP primaries.

Nearly 1 in 5 GOP primary voters across four contests Tuesday voted for an option other than the presumptive nominee. That’s about the same proportion that voted against him on the last big primary day, March 19

While President Biden continues to cede votes as well — largely protests over his Gaza war policy, reflected in choices like “uncommitted” — Trump is ceding more.

Since Nikki Haley dropped out of the campaign after Super Tuesday on March 5, an average of 17 percent of those voting in GOP contests have voted against Trump, compared to 11 percent against Biden.

Since Super Tuesday, closed primaries in Florida, Kansas, Connecticut and New York have yielded an average of 21 percent of voters voting against Trump — again, all of them registered Republicans. So despite independents not being allowed to participate, the protest vote has remained consistent.

In Arizona’s primary on the same day, Haley won 18 percent.

Haley won almost 17% of Pennsylvania's primary vote Tuesday, or 1 in 6 votes, to Trump's 83%, despite not campaigning for president since she ended her bid in early March.
