No Florida?
A list of contests won and delegates secured up until mid March in 2008, 2012 and 2016 would be even more illuminating.
Pretty impressive for sure but where is FL?
Anyway to compare to Obama primary?
Whoops:
*****Florida*****
Trump 2016 1,076,804
Romney 2012 776,159
McCain 2008 701,761
I assume you are counting the number of voters that turned out?
Use the table format to make this sort of post more readable:
I think the FR html page has a short tutorial - its not all that hard - if you make a simple test page with html
<> omitted
html
head
title
/title
/head
body
table
tr
td /td
/tr
/body
/html
and drag to your browser you can see the effect of each change before you post - just omit the opening and closing bits.
Trumps numbers are not all from Pubbies who stayed home for the primaries in 2008 and 2012. Many of them are NEW voters.
Thank you MND for your efforts here for the benefit of the rest of us!
So Trump consistently got 50% more votes than Romney or McCain.
All this is secondary to the GOPe.
As they told everyone this morning - its THEIR Party, and they decide who the nominee is!
Actually, in 08 and 12 the two losers had the nominations sewed up all ready.
Trump is lagging compared to them.
Just south of Georgia and north of Cuba.

That’s amazing, shows the strength of the Trump movement.
awesome...extremely informative
wow! Very nice. Thank you!
Hmmm, I think that this would be a good chart show enthusiasm. Might be a good tell if we can get the same info for the Dems and do an analysis to predict the voter totals and from that, the electoral college.
Might be a good thought exercise in political science.
