NBC News projects that more voters chose not to pick a candidate at all than back Haley. Trump was not on the ballot, since he's participating in Thursday's caucus instead.

    CLARIFICATION: A vote for “None Of These Candidates” was a vote for Trump. So she lost to Trump.

      Thanks Captain Obvious.

      I was lost. What does it even mean? Thank Jesus you came through with the explanation.

        Not obvious at all to those not familiar with the infantile shitshow referred to as ‘politics’ in that country

          I follow global politics fairly closely (I’m not from America) and I didn’t immediately know that’s effectively what happened.

          In fairness, I didn’t read the article.

          I’m sure your home politics are a bastion of reason and civility🥱

          Edit: to be clear, I agree American politics are a joke. I think it’s also comical when people try to sit on a high horse when it’s really a mini pony
