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?
I assume you are counting the number of voters that turned out?

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.
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.

awesome...extremely informative
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.
Milt really sucked as a candidate.
So, if you took all of those votes and combined them you would have 12,201,366 votes.
Here’s how they would break down in a 3 way election:
Trump: 41%
Romney: 30%
McCain: 29%
Thank you for your effort. much appreciated
wow! Very informative.
Thanks for all that work.
Great info!
Thanks!
Bookmark. Good data.
As a Texan, I am somewhat bewildered by Romney's performance in Texas. These numbers speak for themselves though. There is absolutely no doubt that Trump has been drawing votes far beyond anything the establishment candidate were able to produce in recent elections.
One thing that everybody must keep in mind is the size of the field that Trump has been battling. He has been faced by a huge array of competition, plus incoming attacks from both parties as well as the media.
