Trump Hates ‘Rigged’ Elections – Except The One His People Are Rigging For Him In Nevada

LAS VEGAS — In their zeal to make third-on-the-calendar Nevada easier for Donald Trump to win in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, state GOP officials may instead have created a scenario that could delegitimize the result entirely by giving zero delegates to a candidate who wins the most ballots.“It’s a nightmare. It’s a debacle. I don’t even know where to start,” said former state party chair Amy Tarkanian.Instead of holding either a caucus or a primary, Nevada is holding both, just two days apart in early February. The primary, on Feb. 6, is being conducted by the state, using all the state voting precincts with ballots mailed to every registered Republican. The caucus, on Feb. 8, requires participants to find the site closest to their home designated by the pro-Trump state part...

GOP Governor Urges Candidates To ‘Find Separation’ From Trump

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu called on Republican candidates to seek out “separation” from Donald Trump as the former president remains the party’s front-runner following the first GOP presidential debate on Wednesday. (You can check out Sununu’s remarks in the clip below.)In an interview Friday with “The Hill” on NewsNation, the Republican governor said candidates did a “great job” ignoring Trump despite his absence from the debate stage before declaring that they’ve “go to be able to take it to him.”“I don’t think they have to go nuclear like Chris [Christie] does ... but everyone in their own way has to find separation with him,” Sununu said.“And some of them are doing it; some of them aren’t. I think Nikki Haley did it pretty well, but that’s really the key: It’s not just attacking...

Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Chris Christie Debate Remark Racist

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia Republican who once spoke at a white nationalist conference, took issue with what she deemed to be a “racist” incident at Wednesday’s GOP primary debate.“I was pretty disgusted at Chris Christie and his racist comment towards Vivek Ramaswamy,” Greene said during a discussion on Right Side Broadcasting Network at the event, hosted by Fox News, in Milwaukee. “He compared him with Obama. I honestly thought that was pretty racist.”Christie, the former governor of New Jersey, called out his rival on stage after the entrepreneur basically recycled a line used by former President Barack Obama.Greene: I was pretty disgusted by Chris Christie and his racist comment towards Vivek Ramaswamy… He compared him to Obama.

Some Republicans Worry Donald Trump May Be Unstoppable

NEW YORK (AP) — He’s been indicted twice. Found liable for sexual abuse. And he’s viewed unfavorably by about a third of his party. But six months before Republicans begin to choose their next presidential nominee, former President Donald Trump remains the race’s dominant front-runner.Early leaders don’t always go on to win their party’s nomination, but a growing sense of Trump’s inevitability is raising alarms among some Republicans desperate for the party to move on. Some described a sense of panic — or “DEFCON 1,” as one put it — as they scramble to try to derail Trump and change the trajectory of the race. But there’s no clear plan or strategy on how to do that and Trump’s detractors aren’t rallying around a single alternative candidate yet.“They’re very concerned,” former Maryland Go...
