Ryan, based on the following numbers alone...should be touting unity. With the turnout we have had in these primaries, and with the ability for Trump to bring in the disaffected independents, DNC...and minorities, there is a Reagan style chance available in this election that the GOPe would squander.

we cannot allow that to happen.

Here's an interesting graphic that shows the 1st and 2nd place GOP Primary finishers in the last 10 residential Elections...40 years.

It is clear that this will be the largest turnout since 2000. In that year, Bush set the record for GOP Primary votes for any GOP Primary presidential candidate at just over 12 million. McCain got the most 2nd place votes in history to that point with just over 6 million.

In this campaign, Donald Trump is right near 11 million with seven more contests to go, including California. He is certain to break George W. Bush's record. In addition, Ted Cruz has alrady broken John McCain's 2nd place record with over 7 million votes. Her'es a commonality between 2000 and 2016.

In 2000 we were coming of 8 years of Clinton and the people were engergized.

This year we are coming off of 8 years of Obama and people are all the more energized.

This will easily be the largest GOP turnout in history. Probably 21 million or more. In 2000, we managed 18 million in the primaries.

Trump is responsible for this by tapping in far most effectively into the frustration of the American voters.
