Ya think Trump voters are in the minority?

Since Trump has only received about 37% of the primary vote, and a lot of those votes were not from Republicans but from Dems and independents in the open primaries, yes, by definition that makes Trump voters a minority in the GOP.

The daily caucus on FR suggests you are wrong...

Please - FR is not representative of the GOP at large.

So after 17 candidates to start Trump has 37%, his nearest rival has 28%, Rubio has 15%, Kaisch has 13%. What is your point? Trump has the majority.

If you want to restrict it to greater than 50% (one of many meanings of majority) no candidate has that and so the original premise by the OP is meaningless.

ma·jor·i·ty

noun: majority; plural noun: majorities

1. the greater number.

"in the majority of cases all will go smoothly" synonyms: larger part/number, greater part/number, best/better part

That is meaningless drivel. All of the other wannabes have received LESS than that.

Trump 8.2 million
Cruz 6.3 million
Rubio 3.5 million
Kasich 2.9 million

If Trump has brought in nearly 2 million cross-overs, that is more than any Republican since Reagan has done.
