President Trump resoundingly defeated Nikki Haley in the South Carolina primary on Saturday. Like clockwork, Haley, alongside the nation’s left-leaning media, began to crow that “40% of Republicans” didn’t pick Donald Trump, however. The claim is based on Haley’s vote share of 39.5 percent. But a look under the hood of the claim reveals it to be an outright farce.

Last night, 40 percent of Republicans voted against Trump.

OPEN PRIMARY.
South Carolina is an open primary, and for the past several months, Haley and her supporters on the political left have openly targeted Democrats and other non-Republicans to vote for her in the race. There is vast evidence of this, not least the Associated Press VoteCast’s data from Saturday night.
“Haley dominated among South Carolina voters who… said that Democrat Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election. Roughly three-quarters of her supporters say Biden was legitimately elected president in 2020, and about 4 in 10 voted for Biden in that election,” the AP reports.
POLITICO also admits: “A majority of every age demographic picked Trump over Haley. Men and women both backed Trump. Voters across all income ranges backed him, and he only narrowly lost college graduates while dominating among those without a college degree.”
‘WE ONLY CARE ABOUT DAMAGING TRUMP’.
So it’s already clear that much of Haley’s 39.5 percent did not solely come from Republicans disaffected by Trump. Some folks have already done the fast math.
Institutionally, Haley’s overt efforts in turning out Democrats to “damage” Trump were aided by groups like Primary Pivot – an organization staffed by ‘Never Trump Inc’ operatives from groups like the Lincoln Project, and conceived by an Obama-era USAID operative called Kenneth Schleffler.
