    Donald Trump suffered a blow in the Pennsylvania primary on Tuesday, as tens of thousands of Republicans refused to vote for him despite being the presumptive GOP nominee.

    The former president won the primary race in the key swing state with 83.5 percent of the vote, amounting to more than 786,000 votes.

  2. Trump losing a significant portion of his vote to people who aren’t even running. Ouch.

  3. Well, it seems like Pennsylvania wasn’t feeling the Trump magic this time around.

  4. And they’ll all vote for him in November because “welp, at least he’s not a demmycrat”.

  5. How many of those ~155K are just protest voting and how many are actually not going to vote for him in November?

  6. 17% or almost 156,000 people voted for Nikki Haley. She dropped out of the race almost 2 months ago. People are turning on Trump. Show up in November and vote for Biden to make sure this corrupt clown never holds power again.

  7. It’s not like Pennsylvania is a key swing state in November. Oh wait…

  8. He’s a loser candidate downing his days sleeping and farting through a criminal trial…color me surprised.

  9. Can Dems vote in the Rep primary in PA? While I doubt the number is high that would, especially when people have already dropped out, there could be a number of those included in this. Or ones that did so for down ticket people.

  10. Trump is a national disgrace. It’s every Americans duty to make sure he doesn’t stand a chance again.

  12. A great viewpoint on this is from David French (Conservative commentator/Never Trumper). He stated that if we viewed Trump through the lens of a basic candidate, his candidacy was excellent, sweeping nearly every state. If we look at him as an incumbent, the percentage of voters not voting for him, especially after he wraps up the endorsement, is a disaster for his campaign. Those voters were excited enough to go to the polls to vote against their candidate of the party.

    Those folks who vote in primaries are typically high news readers and well-informed voters. They do not represent your standard voter. The real warning (according to French) is if a candidate gets near double digits or higher after the nomination is a wrap. Those lost votes can become lost states quickly in a tight election.

  13. PA resident here. This makes me smile even though I vote Democrat.
