Sean Hannity reported today that the Indiana Primary Republicans voters were UP 143% from 2012. Democrat Primary DOWN 40%. I wasn't able to find the actual numbers or link. Maybe someone else can. Thanks!
A great many people are tired of elitism. Elitism comes in many shapes and sizes, and the public recognizes it now in all those shapes and sizes. Hillary epitomizes that elitism.
BUMP! BUMP!
Trump’s Real Clear Politics average in Indiana was 42.8, his actual percentage was 54.6, over-performing by 11.8 percentage points. Matter of fact, from NY to IN Trump has over-performed his RCP average by 9 percentage points. Some say that Trump doesn’t have much of a ground game, but he won every county in NY, CT, MD, PA, DE, RI, and AL. He lost one county in FL and 1 in TN. He lost 2 counties in SC, and 3 in GA. Even in Indiana he only lost 5 counties. Something tells me that there is a much better get out the vote effort on behalf of Trump than anyone is admitting.
Thanks for these stats, eye openers!
God bless Indiana.
Any breakdown on absentees vs. in-person voting?
Hmmm, interesting indeed.
Dem voters down 40% and crazy Bernie won closely against criminal Hillary.
/Don’t know how to interpret that to national election, I don’t have any insight.
I prefer to look at total turn out. I firmly believe fences will be mended.
I think it is better to compare to 2008. In 2012 a number if Democrats state didn’t hold a primary. Then two we saw all the independent and a number of Republicans fall for the “hope and change” crap.
Indiana. In 2008 the two parties had a total of 1,690.770 cast. The Democrats had 1,278,296 of them or 76%.
In 2016 two parties had a total of 1,257,714. The Democrats had 628,857 of them or 50%. A 26% swing from 2008. Numbers came from Politico.com and Wikipedia.
I started to keep track of all primaries thru the first 13primaries then stopped till Indiana. They swings ranged from 10% to 30+. In 2008 there were a total of 23,747,530 votes cast for the 13 states. The Democrats had 15,516, 470 or 65%.
In 2016 there were a total of 25,865,725. The Democrats had 11,741,660 or 45%. I would say we are winning over some Dems, the independents and some of the un-motived from our own.
Every time I think of not having to hear Ted Cruz’s voice ever day I say “Thank you Indiana!”
Even here in IL it felt great to vote for a winner!
Lyin Ted is still at it....wonder how many delegates he’s get from here:

One thing to keep in mind about Indiana in 2008 was that the Republican race had already been decided for McCain, but Hillary and Obama were still in a pretty tight contest.
Still, the overall numbers from Tuesday are indeed a good sign for Trump and his chances in November.
Someone needs to let Murdock and Roger Ailes know.
I watched FoxNews this AM and here is a summary of the stories:
Trump most unpopular candidate ever.
Trump will make PUBBIES lose the House and Senate.
Trump has a favorability rating of -147% among women with IQ’s above 30.
Trump will make it so Bushes and Romney will not attend convention (Oh, no!)
Trump is hated by John McLame.
Trump is causing a rebirth of #nevertrump
Which "god?" The god of Two Corinthians?
I don’t know if he’s going to have the longest coattails. There’s a lot of Republicans that deserve to lose this fall for what they did to us and if we can’t primary them, we may lose the seats. Bastards.
Think they mean the God that I hope will forgive me for not knowing the proper name of Saint Paul's second epistle to the Christians in Corinth in either Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic or any of the languages they spoke or wrote at the time.
Oh, boo-hoo! The evangelist politician went down in flames in Indiana and the Cruz supporters are still crying and whining and probably finagling!
If your guy was so brilliant why did he lose every single county, every single delegate?
Indiana was an open primary, meaning independents and Dems got to vote for Trump too. Yes, it can be argued that some Dems crossed over to do an Operation Chaos, but I think a lot of it was people who do not want Hillary, and for whom Trump resonates.
It all comes down to which candidate can get people enthused enough to show up.
