Yes, don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story, n00bi3 Lakewood:
You cherry-picked the data that you DON'T have to "support" your unsupportable point.
You "neglected" to mention the Wisconsin 2012 Republican primary, which is VERY similar to the 2016 Republican primary in importance. AND, Obama was running UNOPPOSED, freeing up OODLES of Democrats to cross-over and vote Republican.:
The next big contest was in Wisconsin on April 3, 2012. Acknowledging the wide delegate gap between himself and Romney, Santorum said that he would continue fighting and would secure enough delegates to deny Romney the 1,144 delegates needed to clinch the nomination, which would lead to an open convention floor fight. Of a convention contest, Santorum said, "I think it would be a fascinating display of open democracy. And I think it would be an energizing thing for our party to have a candidate emerge who isn't the blessed candidate of the Republican establishment."At a campaign event in Wisconsin on March 26, Santorum angrily told the crowd, "Pick any Republican in the country! He (Romney) is the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama!".
He later proceeded to use profanity against New York Times reporter Jeff Zeleny, who questioned his remarks about Romney. Santorum finished second in Wisconsin with 37% to Romney's 44%.
How like a cruzer to "fail to mention" facts which are inconvenient to the narrative that's being sold. :)
I'm sitting on the custom spreadsheet showing the numbers for ALL three Wisconsin primaries, and you're not. All you got is puffery to defend the Texas snake and his role as the Unipatsy for the Democrat Party.
Have a nice rest of the day sulking in your tent, Achilles... :)
Wow, a spreadsheet, I’m impressed. I didn’t neglect anything nor did I cherry pick data. It was you that made the assertion that 20,000 votes left the democrat side in 2008 and some how appeared on the republican side in 2016. I simply showed you what happened.
Vote totals are up everywhere and Trump got his standard 35-40%. For Wisconsin as a whole there was about a 39% increase in total votes in the Republican primary. In the county you “cherry-picked” there was an increase of about 36% in total votes in the Republican primary.
So much for reasoned argument. At least I’ve graduated from a n00b to a n00bi3...Cheers.
