"They made the argument as a hypothetical based on NO evidence that they were doing so in the primaries. Trump has been winning over those votes in the primaries. Besides that, there is STATISTICAL evidence that hillary is overwhelmingly unpopular with younger voters."
Pinging CA Conservative, who was discussing McCain and Romney.
“They made the argument as a hypothetical based on NO evidence that they were doing so in the primaries. Trump has been winning over those votes in the primaries.”
That statement makes no sense. It was only because of the open primaries and the Dems and independents voting for McCain and Romney that they won the nomination. So the evidence they used for their claims is the same evidence the Trump supporters use to support their claim. They wrongly assumed that the Dems and independents that came over to vote for them in the primaries would also vote for them in the general. I think the Trump supporters are making the same wrong assumption.
