Donald Trump is not as popular as everyone thinks

On Super Tuesday, the former president lost the state of Vermont and more than 2 million votes to Nikki Haley.

Despite resounding victories on Super Tuesday, there are indications that Donald Trump is still struggling to get strong, united Republican support, which he may need in the presidential election.

Speaking to CNN about the Super Tuesday results, columnist and political commentator Molly Jong-Fast said: "There is a real ‘Never Trump’ contingent, and remember, Trump is a primary candidate. He has only ever tried to appeal to Republican primary voters, and he cannot marshal that group together the way he needs to.

“Part of his trick in 2016 was, he got these low-frequency voters out, these people who almost never voted, which is why the polling was so off, and you’re just not seeing that same type of enthusiasm.”

    Meanwhile, people who agree with 90% of any variation of the Democratic platform will protest vote or stay home to “send a message” or some bullshit.

      I mean, as long as they only do so in the primaries, this is a valid behavior.

      In the actual election, however, I strongly suggest voting the lesser of two evils when the other option has cited mein kampf and said they want to be a dictator

      After that, you can still go on the street and demonstrate for the abolishment of the electoral college and a system that only allows two parties to have chances

        Voting the lesser of 2 evils is the only option in a 2 man first-past-the-post “democractic” oligarchy.
