The 44 percent
Are the anti-Trump voters who cast ballots for Nikki ... Republicans lost?
Pictured above is Brian Pfitzer, 70, a Republican primary voter in New Hampshire who held his nose to cast a ballot for Nikki Haley on Tuesday, mainly out of opposition to Donald Trump.
Does Pfitzer represent a red flag for a fracturing Trump coalition that is shedding center-right leaning voters who are exhausted by the chaos and find Trump’s GOP unhospitable. Or is Pfitzer a false flag — a Democrat in GOP clothing who was always going to be in Joe Biden’s column in the end.
In essence, does Trump need the other 44%?
My colleague, Max Greenwood — on the ground in New Hampshire — and I examine Haley’s losing but robust coalition of anti-Trump voters in the Granite State — and what they mean for Trump’s prospects in the fall.

That 44% wasn't lost. Many of them were Democrats, so no, Trump doesn't need them in the general.
