Another primary day yesterday. Why is Benedict Donald underperforming? Ask Stormy Daniels.
Or, if that topic makes you gag, just look at the respective Biden and Trump margins of victory from Ohio, Kansas, Illinois and Arizona and try to figure it out. (NOTE: The Florida primary was only for Republicans, and HAHAHA, Ron DeSantis came in third. Behind fellow dropout Nikki Haley. But we digress.)
President Biden's victory margins bested Trump's in every state — plus-74 percent for Biden versus plus-59 percent for Trump in Kansas, plus-74 versus plus-65 in Ohio, plus-88 versus plus-65 in Illinois, and plus-86 versus plus-59 in Arizona. Wow! — all eye-popping, but Arizona, jeez. It's a key swing state, and Benedict Donald can't get a greater-than-60-percent margin of victory there? Sounds like trouble.
In short, we're seeing a real enthusiasm deficit on the GOP side. And more of them — not just Mike Pence, Willard Romney and the Cheneys now — are saying they won't support Trump. (Senator Todd Young of Indiana is just the latest.) These continuing announcements give other Republicans permission to walk away from Donald, too.
Cable news talking heads will no doubt rhapsodize about Trump's primary victories, but if they do, they're ignoring the cracks in the Republican foundation. Biden-Harris, meanwhile, has grass-roots energy, lots of money, a record of accomplishment, and, unlike Trump, a refusal to run America down. This all seems to us like a good way to win in November. We cats PURR.
