I don’t have the data to prove it and don’t plan to do that work now, but I think Trump’s 42% at the point he became the presumptive nominee is higher than McCain and maybe also Romney at the point they became the presumptive nominees.
And it’s just stupid and nonsensical for anyone to continually babble about the 58% who didn’t vote for Trump when we started with 17 candidates and the votes were spread over many of them up until the Indiana primary, through more than 30 states. - And that basic premise has already been disproved several times as Trump’s percentage support increased each time candidates dropped out.
Trump never said if he didn’t get the nomination he might go third party. He said if he wasn’t treated fairly, he might go third party and he had damned good reason to say that starting with the first debate and many times afterwards.
Shut-up, Levin. You aren’t that important and you can’t require Trump to address a damned thing he doesn’t choose to address. How many votes did you win?

It’s like they say. When all you’ve got is lemons might as well make lemonade.
Just like how they argued that it wasn’t fair that he got 47% of the vote in Florida and got all the delegates.
Too bad for them that their arguements didn’t convince anyone but themslves.
