The former U.N. ambassador nabbed a victory in New England while Donald Trump racked up Super Tuesday wins across the rest of the country.

    Yeah she needed to win Virginia for this to have any real meaning.

    She has no events scheduled after today.

    I still thin she should stay in, just in case, just to be annoying.

      Trump has to be less than 1000 big macs from a massive heart attack. She should stay in the race as the contingency candidate.

        I don’t think a lack of blood flow to trump’s brain would meaningfully affect his outward appearance and behavior.

          Yeah, but Trump probably hates Sanders enough to explicitly forbid a weekend at Bernie’s arrangement. Even though that logic doesn’t make any sense, that doesn’t preclude it as a possibility.

          Plus we know from Giuliani that warm temperatures makes the makeup start to drip. Masking a corpse until November would take too much coordination to be a successful undertaking for the Trump campaign.

      For those who are unfamiliar with the Imperial mile, a 1/4 mile is about 3.15 ounces.
      In metric 1/4 km would be 250 meters, because metric makes sense, and k means thousand, and a quarter of a thousand is… TADA 250! Go figure.
      In Imperial 1/4 mile isn’t 250 anything, or any other round number of any unit that would make sense, because imperial is stupid, making any conversion a chore. Yet some people keep using it because reasons?

        What do you mean? 1/4 mile is 15,840 inches. Totally logical.

          That was hilarious.😉 Ah yes flaffenfeit too, where 1 square foot of cotton increased 23 degrees flaffenfeit is 728 megajoule.
          But in metric 1mm3 water = 1gram, increased 1C°= 1 calorie. I’d say one of those systems is better, and it aint imperial.

        A mile was originally “mille passus”, which was Latin for 1000 paces because that’s what it was, making 1/4 mile 250 paces. Not exactly precise by modern standards, but actually a logical measure for walkable distances.

          That’s some pretty long paces? So why not use those instead of yawns? Then at lest there would be 1 point where imperial made sense. Not much, but better than nothing.

    If she really wants to get under Trump’s skin, she should set her campaign slogan to, “I’m with Her.”

    So if Trump wins, he will probably sell Vermont back to Russia, or something

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Ambassador Nikki Haley has won the Republican presidential primary in Vermont, NBC News projects — her first Super Tuesday win amid a deluge of other state calls for former President Donald Trump.

    Despite the narrow Haley victory in Vermont, Trump is expanding his national delegate lead with wins in other Super Tuesday contests.

    In a memo ahead of the Jan. 23 New Hampshire primary, the Haley campaign wrote that “there is significant fertile ground for Nikki” on Super Tuesday due to those rules.

    Of the 874 delegates available on Super Tuesday, roughly two thirds are in states with open or semi-open primaries,” the memo added.

    At that event, Haley told the crowd, “I’m going to keep on fighting,” because, “70% of Americans say they don’t want Donald Trump or Joe Biden.”

    But by the time NBC News projected Haley’s win in Vermont Tuesday night, Trump had already won 11 other states and built on his delegate lead.

    The original article contains 399 words, the summary contains 157 words. Saved 61%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Could have just done the headline and this. The rest is pretty much just filler.

    I mean, I detest Trump as much as the next sane guy, but let’s not kid ourselves…
