While some in the media spent much of Super Tuesday reveling in Joe Biden's awakening from political death, they entirely missed the untold story of Super Tuesday: President Donald Trump's record-breaking vote counts and turnout.
Despite being an uncontested incumbent, President Trump managed to break several turnout and vote-count records in blue states and key swing states.
In Vermont and Minnesota, Trump's vote totals beat every past incumbent's total in the last four decades. In Maine, the president's vote total bested every primary candidate's total since before President Ronald Reagan. In Massachusetts, the story was similar, with Trump aggregating a higher vote total than past incumbent Republicans since before Reagan.
And in deeply blue California, with 82 percent of precincts reporting, President Trump collected nearly 1.4 million votes.
Turnout numbers similarly showcased the enthusiasm of Republican voters. In Colorado, for example, Republican turnout for Trump on Tuesday was greater than the past three Republican primaries combined.
The evident enthusiasm for Trump was made clear in red states, in swing states, even in blue states on Tuesday evening, indicating that the Republican Party is more unified than ever before and is growing in numbers.
Indeed, Tuesday night's results are reflective of the data the Trump campaign collects in the lead-up to rallies. The campaign routinely finds that about a quarter of those who register to attend Trump rallies are Democrats and around 10 percent to 15 percent did not vote in 2016...

1.4 million votes for Trump in California is impressive.
I live in Ventura County CA. and Trump received MORE votes than Bernie, Biden, and Bloomberg combined!!!!
Amazing! This will Be can amazing election - Then he can finish the wall!!!
I just want to point out that if Biden wins the nomination and then the general election, this truly will be the zombie apocalypse.
‘Cuz he was dead not too long ago.
Not without context it’s not.
This morning I posted an article by Sundance from The Conservative Treehouse which details the totals for each state from Super Tuesday.
President Trump’s uncontested turnout numbers in many cases not just exceeded the dems numbers but, in several cases blew them out of the water.
BTW - I recently drove that newly resurfaced highway from Valencia to Ventura - I should have gotten a ton of speeding tickets - nicest road in all of CA.
BTTT
TEXAS:
D turnout +37%, R turnout -29%
Biden 2020: 661,450
Clinton 2016: 935,080
Sanders 2016/2020: 475,561/592,077
Trump 2016/2020: 757,618/1,879,759
I don’t have to do the math here. Trump is 90K votes shy of beating the ENTIRE D field. Texas is NOT purple
Post link to story - I’d like to see it. I’ve read most new/young voters are breaking for Burnie; if he’s not the candidate, many will not turn out
I hope and pray you are right!
HST, we cannot, we MUST NOT relax!
I want a total blowout!
Is that reversed by mistake ?

This is the link to my post from this morning.
Rush has talked about total destruction of the Democrats for years now - never understood it til 2016 and what has happened since - no quarter in 2020
Exceptional border collie.
Dem turnout in rural areas was devastating low, especially whites (Bernie’s base), latinos/illegals saved his ass but Sleepy Joe crushed him with blacks
Dem’s full support for open borders, healthcare for illegals, etc hurt their turnout.
As a fellow Texan, I can confirm that my part of the state is counting the days until we can vote to keep the President in the White House for four more years.
