Forgive my ignorance (although if there's a place for ignorance its surely a thread about Trump) but who votes in the primaries ? Is it party members or anyone eligible to vote or some other group ?
It depends on the state. NH was an open primary. You just turn up and ask for whichever ballot you want. Others require you to be registered as either a Republican or a Democrat and you get that ballot. However, some with closed primaries (you can only vote for the party you registered as) let you switch registration on the day.

Couldn’t agree more. The fact he hasn’t stood aside and let the Democrats find a younger, more dynamic candidate is beyond stupid. I fear significant numbers are either going to vote Trump or - most likely - just not bother to vote at all due to
Biden’s age being such an off-putting factor.
You can't claim Biden's age is a factor and ignore the fact that Trump is only a couple years "younger" and clearly in a steep mental decline. Also Biden is the only one that has actually beat Trump.

I'm not ignoring it.

Agree 100% they're BOTH way too old to be running. But I see 'age' losing Biden way more votes than it will Trump. Trumpies will vote for Trump even when he's dead.

Trump got a new record number of votes, Haley got over 70% of her votes from non registered republicans(Rumoured to be lefty students.)
Uh-huh? 'Rumoured' by whom?

Please . . . Can this financially incompetent misogynist bully die soon. The usa is f***ed up beyond most countries scale of belief . . . Although England is dragging itself perilously close . . . . . No one needs or wants it to get any worse . . . . .

No one does front pages like the TNE
If the labelling of his voters pushes more people in his direction, does this stuff too?

I can't help but wonder if all the hysteria pushes people into or further into the cult of Trump.

@Crawley Dingo what do you think when you see front pages like this?

The one sliver of hope I cling to on the Ukraine situation if Trump does win is that the American arms manufacturing industry will be keen to keep having their wares “tested” against Russian gear, and they hold a lot of sway over Washington when it comes to the green stuff

If I was in the US I would definitely vote trump over Biden.

But besides that I'm not sure why people on this board or Europeans are so bothered by trump being president.

Like this country both parties in the states are as bad as each other. At least trump is entertaining. Also, unless I'm wrong hardly any major conflicts seemed to kick off on his watch last time around, since Biden got into power there seems to be a different issue every week, the guy is a joke.

Out of interest, why?
Because he's not Biden. Tbh I just wouldn't vote.

Number 1)The Dems insist on divisive identity politics, which I hate.

The fear mongering is back as well. Aside from saying a bunch of mean things and having all of his decisions shut down by activist federal judges, the only substantial thing trump did was use his power to put conservatives within the judiciary.

Biden was supposed to be the new hope and what did we get. Something close to a world war with Russia and now the Palestine / Israel mess.

So - not 'definitely vote Trump' then - but not voting at all...!

Not too sure how Biden has created the Ukraine invasion or the Palestine / Israel situation. In your view - what would Trump have done differently that would have prevented either of these?
