What’s also historic about the Trump candidacy is the level of opposition against him. He only has 41% of the primary vote currently. He’s the only GOP candidate besides McCain since at least the ‘70s to get under 50% and he’s running 5 points under McCain currently.

Ha, that’s so funny. No one ever ran against 16 candidates. Trump is on track to set the record for the most votes ever earned in the primary election. He’s already surpassed all of them, but Bush.

And what is also historic is the fact that Trump was running against 16 fellow candidates, so just by sheer force of numbers, no candidate was going to get to 50%, a little fact you neglect to mention. The sin of omission.
