    There are polls showing that a significant amount of Haley voters won’t vote for Trump, with 43% going to Biden. That’s a big enough percentage to sink him in every swing state. Of course it’s impossible to know how it will actually play out, but I think more Repubs are sick of trump than you might think.

    It’s an issue that became starkly apparent in polling ahead of the Iowa caucuses, when an NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll of voters in that state found that fully 43 percent of Nikki Haley supporters said they would back President Joe Biden over Trump. And it’s a dynamic that has been on vivid display as the campaign shifted this week to New Hampshire.

      Polling only works if people are honest. I have great fatigue when it comes to comes to republicans saying they don’t like Trump. There’s always a “but”. Hopefully I’m wrong and I’m too cynical but to this point the “but” has always been there. Sometimes they say it and sometimes they don’t. Biden’s plan is to pray that the fascism fever will break. I think that’s a truly terrible dangerous plan and total nonsense. In any case - we’ll know in ~286 days.

      Those people are full of shit and just don’t like admitting they’re going to vote for Trump.

      They’d probably also tell you they didn’t vote for him the last two times which would also be horseshit.
