A Trump victory in a primary represents at best something more than 40% of at most 40% of the voting population but turnout in primaries is always less than turnout in general elections.

I neglected to consider those primaries where, concededly, Trump does well that is where crossover voting is permitted and where the percentage of the general election represented by the primary total would be somewhat higher but the principle still obtains.

But aren't women voting in the primary? Don't they represent about 50% of the primary voters?
