Haley says fractured GOP primary proves Trump will lose to Biden. History suggests otherwise

Any voter who listened to a stump speech from former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley during her primary campaign against Donald Trump -- which she just ended -- was likely to hear a variation of one message: The former president can't win in November because he's been losing a notable minority of Republican voters.

"He lost 40% of the primary vote in all of the early states," she said last week at a campaign rally in Minnesota. "You can't win the general election if you can't win that 40% [back]."

Haley was exaggerating. For example, in the 15 GOP states that voted on Super Tuesday, she has gotten less than 20% in six of them, with some ballots still being counted.

But while Trump has beaten Haley in all but two contests by double digits, he has lost approximately a third of the GOP vote -- or more -- in big states like Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota and Virginia.

What's more, in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont and Washington, D.C., Haley got at least 40% of the vote. She won Vermont and in Washington, D.C.
