Landslide!
In my neck of the woods, we know a landslide . . .
Hillary & Bernie combined (* ++) 9,753,448
(*Nebraska and Colorado Dem primaries already occurred, but GOP has not=144,330)
Hillary/Bernie Total*:
9,609,118
(++ No votes for anyone other than Hillary or Bernie included)
Republican totals: (**)
20,220,500
(**Carson, Paul, Santorum, Gilmore, Fiorina, Huckabee, Bush have dropped out=1,086,724 including 677,193 for Carson and 249,733 for Bush)
Republican totals (less candidates who have dropped out):
19,133,776
Republican advantage in states that have voted:
9,524,658
In 2012 Obama was not contested. He had 6,158,064. But in 2008, when he was contested he and Hillary combined for 36 million. Sound like a lot?
In the last contested election on both sides, 2008, the GOP had a total of 20,039,034 votes. We have beaten the '08 total by almost 200,000 votes and we are just half way through.
We are halfway through and GOP candidates have totaled 20,200,000. Republicans if current trends hold would exceed the 2008 Dem primary turnout by FOUR POINT FOUR MILLION.
Great news on the Reoublican primaries turn out.
Paging Tokyo Rove, please pick up the courtesy phone. It’s LS calling, with a YUGE dose of reality.
Amen LS.
In my analysis above and the spreadsheet that accompanies it, I point out this very thing.
But by my numbers, through March 15th, the four GOP candidates had 19,785,000 votes.
Hillary and Bernie had 14,700,000 votes.
Even then, turnout difference is staggering, and the disparity will continue to grow throughout the remaining races..
Whether people like Rove want to admit it or not, Donald Trump is a big part of that turnout, and I believe it will be reflected in the general election as well.
And they keep saying that Trump will lose. lol. I think any repub is going to win hands down.
LS did you do the State by State differences? Great way to show we CAN win...
If you’re the person who set them all out - do you have a link?
Thanks.
Do enjoy your reports once awake and after that first shot of caffeine. There is too much information to absorb w/o the caffeine to help open the eyes!
Many things brought into notice and looking at certain incidents from different perspectives.
Keep on keeping on. Thank you for the article and the ping.
