I regard the Democrats as one group, and the independents as another. I think Trump got the lion's share of vote from both Democrats *AND* Independents.

But we can see what is the truth if someone would find the numbers of registered voters who voted, and categorize them by party. Someone will probably do it eventually.

I would agree. He also outperformed in just about every other demographic.

Even if the level of dems were large, we have to keep in mind that in voting in the GOP primary, these folks lost their ability to vote in the DEM primary. They have no say in whether Hillary or Bernie wins. So if they crossed party lines to vote in the primary, my guess is that most of them truly intend to vote that way come November.

There truly may be some big block of crossover dems. But I think you'd find most Trump supporters would admit that they believe Trump is going to go out in November and take over blocks of voters that nobody in the GOP thought possible in this political generation.

Once Hillary or Bernie actually TAKES the nomination (assuming it is early enough), then I can see more of the possibility of an "operation chaos" scenario developing.
