Let’s talk about Ryan Binkley.

And no, I don’t know who he is either. But he got 527 votes in the South Carolina primary last week. Which got me thinking: who votes for Ryan Binkley? The answer, I suppose — other than his immediately family — is that no one does. A vote for Ryan Binkley is not a vote for Ryan Binkley. It’s a protest vote — a none-of-the-above vote. Or, as we learned about in Nevada, a “none of these candidates” vote.

In fact, there were several names on the South Carolina ballot last weekend that arguably filled a protest role. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and some guy named David Stuckenberg, for example. All told, the candidates not named Donald Trump or Nikki Haley pulled in about 5,000 votes.

That means 5,000 people took the time to go to the polls for a relatively meaningless primary, when they didn’t have to, and pull the lever for someone who either wasn’t running anymore, or of whom they had never heard. Who does that?

It strikes me that those are the people that Donald Trump needs to worry about the most. Because those are the people that are probably least likely to vote for him in........
