Running Unopposed, Trump Manages To Lose Almost Half of Nebraska Primary Vote

By: Caleb Howe ( Diary) | May 11th, 2016 at 01:41 AM

Tonight, unopposed presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump still managed to lose almost half the votes cast in the Nebraska primary election. What a mandate!

Trump came in at about 61% of the vote, meaning the other nearly 40% voted against him, despite knowing that everyone else had dropped out of the race.

Ted Cruz got 18.5%, John Kasich 11.39%, and Marco Rubio got 3.63%. Amazingly, Trump supporter and lackey Dr. Ben Carson himself took 5% of the vote from the boss. And by “amazingly,” I mean bwa ha ha ha ha ha.

That’s Trump’s big win tonight. Unopposed. Do recall how he said it was really hard to get a high percent of the vote with so many opponents. Do recall he said getting just 60% of the vote in his home state of New York was only because he had two other opponents. And then realize he had ZERO opponents tonight and still barely broke 60.
