If you’re tuning into the fake news media, Fox News included, you’d be led to believe there’s a hotly contested “primary race” in progress. But let’s set the record straight—there is no actual race. Trump is on track to clinch the primary in a historic landslide, marking one of the least competitive primaries in modern political history. Yet NeverTrumpers like Paul Ryan, a board member at Fox Corp, are likely in denial and desperate to keep the “race” narrative going. If you’ll recall, about a year ago, Paul Ryan confidently made this prediction:

As usual, Paul Ryan and the rest of the establishment are clueless about the current state of the GOP. Now relegated to the fringe, they’re scrambling to back literally anyone other than President Trump. However, their struggle is in vain. Trump is not only primed for victory; he’s on the verge of triggering the “winner-takes-all” rule come Super Tuesday.

You might be wondering, “What does ‘winner-takes-all’ mean?” Simply put, it’s the most straightforward method for allocating delegates: win the most votes in a state over a certain threshold (usually 50 percent), and you get all of that state’s delegates. The great news for Trump is that most Republican primaries operate under this winner-takes-all rule, where the candidate with the most votes takes all the delegates. Iowa and New Hampshire are exceptions, where delegates are awarded in proportion to the raw vote count. Respected pollster Richard Baris has been monitoring this political landscape closely, and here’s what he said about what’s actually playing out.

Trump is set to trigger winner-take-all rules in literally every single state with a threshold on Super Tuesday, including California and Texas.

You’d never know from watching Murdoch Media, but this is the least competitive primary in modern memory.

Baris is specifically referring to his own polling and also this poll from California that shows Trump up a whopping 11 points, and DeSantis down a staggering 10 points.

President Trump is currently in the strongest political position he’s ever been. It’s quite telling how resolute people are in their belief that he’s the right man for the job. After all, the widespread efforts to take him down only fuel the belief that he must be doing something right.
