Trump Wins Most Votes Ever for Republican Primary Candidate, Breaks Bush's Record

Many were probably just hoping for a brokered convention to derail the New York businessman. These “experts” were not simply wrong, they were drop-dead wrong.

Trump will not only reach the number of delegates it takes to win the nomination outright on Tuesday June 7th, he has won the most primary votes of any GOP presidential candidate in modern history. Based on astute political analysis, who would have guessed?

George W. Bush won 10.8 million votes in the 2000 Republican primary. Donald Trump has won 11.1 million votes so far this year.

Donald Trump won Oregon tonight but Hillary Clinton barely squeaked out a win in Kentucky and lost to Bernie Sanders in Oregon....

... Trump has more primary wins (27), more overall state wins (30), the highest percentage of primary wins (87%), the highest percent of overall state wins (71%), the highest percent of primary delegates (74%), the highest percent of overall delegates (67%), and the highest percentage of votes (60%) than the final top four Republican and Democrat candidates.

The same naysayers who have ardently predicted Trump could never win the nomination also forsee the presumpitve Republican nominee getting crushed in the general election.

But he’ll probably break another record for most votes ever by a candidate when he mops the floor with Killary in November.

Trump ain’t perfect.

But I want a Pres. who has some hutsbah and whom the world fears. I want the world walking on eggshells to not piss off our guy. Screw them all. SICK of being the world police. (I HATE THAT NAVY COMMERCIAL)

Did NKorea make a peep when W was Pres.? Now they shoot off their missiles.

Rest my case.

It could yield up to 44. I agree with your thoughts.

Use the additional references near the bottom of this post.

Also, note the graphics, how many Trump has, and the fact that he’ll get almost all those remaining.

He stands a very good chance of coming in with nearly 1500 delegates.

-—He can’t overcome his negatives, but he can overcome Hillary’s.

He’s going to crush her so badly, the Clinton name is going to right up there with “Borked”

The dems all know this, and they knew it from the start of the primaries.

Trump won’t go sit in the corner and cry while the dems paint him as a sexist bigot like every other Republican.

Yeah, he’s got negatives, but apparently the American people think more positively of Trump than the media keeps telling us.

Show me a man without enemies and I’ll show you a man with no character or backbone.

Go Trump!

Those who oppose the mass deportation of illegals or the building of the wall will be committing treason and should be treated under the law as traitors.

Absolutely. We all need to push this message.

No more illegals. Deport illegals. Save America.

When I first read that Trump was running, I laughed out loud.

My response to his announcement was similar. I knew who he is, but I never watched any of his TV programs.

I kept seeing posts about the massive numbers at his early rallies. So, one day I loaded up the streaming feed and watched. He was late, but that didn't seem to bother the crowd. As soon as he did start speaking, he had the crowd with him. He rambled, seemingly disjointed topics, but he was mesmerizing.

I watched another of his rallies soon after and noticed similar.

The more I watched, the more I saw sincerity. He seemed to mean what he said. I watched some of the other candidates, and they ALL came across as the typical, promise-them-anything politicians. Trump didn't come across like that.

Before Cruz started crashing, I sort of leaned toward him. But there was always something that didn't seem quite genuine with him. He seemed to be a little too slick. After the Cruz burn-up starting in Iowa, and the more revelations about his and wife's histories, I lost interest in him about the time the Iowa caucus was over.

I know what the politicians will do -- more of the same. So, I am willing to give Trump the benefit of the doubt. If he does 1/2 of what he has promised, he will be 10 times better than the last 4 presidents.

"Make America Great Again." If he succeeds, we all win.

Calling Romney and Kristol..

Make America Great Again

Rush was reading a Politico article about how terrified they are that Trump has taken control of the RNC Convention and plans a total “ShowBiz” convention that will actually attract viewers.

He could net 1-2% more popular vote from that alone.

I’m pretty certain he’ll get a majority of the popular vote but by the time the Soros machine gets through we’ll likely get Hillary. I don’t believe the bankers and politicians completely understand what’s happening or what WILL happen if the American voters are defrauded again. All over the country, as we sit here typing, people are choosing which politician/banker/editor to sanction if we get screwed again.
