Kind of betting they were outliers.

I was implying one of them might have been school chums with Gilligan.

Oh - and this. THIS is why you don't jump to HUGE conclusions from stuff like primaries....
YOU might vote in primaries - but - most people don't. So it skews the outcome to gauge the popularity of a candidate based on a primary outcome.
For one thing - is the lead candidate's WINNING the state and taking all -or most of- the delegates in doubt - whatsoever?
Then even if you intend to vote for Trump - you don't bother.
BECAUSE - in the last election, 1.3 MILLION voters, voted for Trump. AND - voter participation, in the general election, hovers close to 60%.
So - as few as one third of all the eligible Republican voters voted for Trump - and about a ninth, for Haley. Since this is not a mathematical sample, the only conclusion we can probably fairly make about the voting universe is that Trump is a LOT MORE popular than Haley. Beyond that, we're guessing - for all we know EVERY Haley voter showed up.

She is a democrat no coubt about it...and she's OUT. About time. According to the WSJ, she won't immediately endorse Trump. Well, who cares?! She's STILL coming across as a snarky b*tch who is going to stompy-stomp her way off the stage. :rolleyesL
All three of us dropped out at the same time.
