I hear you.

Vote totals are interesting, but nearly 2 out of 3 voters in the GOP primaries have chosen not to vote for Trump. Thats pretty close to the 7 in 10 mentioned in this story.

There’s a lot of hyperbole on both sides of this particular coin, but 37% is real, factual objective data.

A touch over one third does not rise to the level of the will of the people. That was opinion.

I do not understand this logic, since it seems to be conflating popular vote with "Primary vote," and, presumably, caucus vote, which has a mixture of low population states and high population states. Popular vote totals are more effective means of determining how someone is liked since a low turnout state like Iowa can skew Trump's percentages down despite surpassing the total number of votes Romney received in the previous election. Trump won 42,000 votes in Iowa, and Santorum and Romney only won 29 thousand each.
