IN 2012, the primary was one of those beauty contest pre-caucus primaries, so that is not a good comparison, since everyone knew their votes really didn't count..
Did you also see the exit poll that 37% of GOP voters last night in all races are seriously considering voting 3rd party if Trump is nominated?
It makes no sense.
Trump will make a great potus IMHO.
I can't understand all the animosity.
The guy is the ultimate capitalist. He won't let foreign countries take advantage of us in any way. He will completely renegotiate our bad trade deals. He will build a wall. He will balance the budget,cut unnecessary departments of govt. Most important of all the GOP-e will disappear!WTH!!
What do they want?
You mean those GOP voters who always tell us Conservatives we need to unite for the good of the Party or the Paulbots?
Please the same exit polls asked if you could ever see yourself voting for the other candidates if your guy doesn’t win... The breakdown percentages of the results were about the same, no matter which candidate the person supported.
Trump faired no better or worse than Rubio or Cruz or Kasich for this question.
This whole “if Trump is nominated republicans will stay home” is nonsense and concocted crap.
I am sure if you asked the same question inversely if Trump isn’t the nominee would you consider voting for him in a 3rd party you’d see similar results.
