With his five blowout wins Tuesday night, Donald Trump has passed Mitt Romney’s popular vote total from four years ago and is on a trajectory that could land him more Republican votes than any presidential candidate in modern history – by a lot.
Trump surged to 9.9 million votes, according to totals that include Tuesday’s preliminary results across the northeast and could rise further as the final votes are counted. That’s already more than 100,000 more than Romney earned in the entire 2012 primary season and tens of thousands more than John McCain earned in 2008.

“Trump is going to absolutely crush Hillary come election time. Complete and utter blowout.”
Yep.
He uses the Truth as a weapon,a very effective weapon.
That presents an uncomfortable reality for anti-Trump forces: they’re attempting to thwart the candidate who is likely to win more Republican primary votes than any GOP contender in at least the last 36 years, and maybe ever.
Shysters in the mold of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have ruined the integrity of the conservative movement.
They’re the institutional schmucks who don’t want to see any issue resolved because then they can’t make money pandering to it.
That is a thought provoking bit of data.
I even think California may be in play this cycle. I know it sounds like crazy talk, but can you imagine CA going republican? Or anything not democrat? That would be epic!
If the majority of people in California aren’t thoroughly pissed at the Democrats and Governor Moonbeam by now, there’s no hope for that state at all.
As I’ve said elsewhere, I suspect that Trump’s real strength is his cross-party appeal. I live in Western PA, where there are a lot of blue-collar conservatives, most of whom think they’re Democrats and, almost to a person, they are as sick as I am about what’s happened to our country. I hope there are a lot of like-minded Democrats in California...
Californians, unfortunately, are ruled by a few cities in the state. Those cities cancel out the vote of the rest of California’s vast land mass.
But those very cities are filled with shallow voters. And those shallow voters know celebrity and love celebrity. Beyond towing the party line, there really is no reason for everyday Californians to vote for Hillary, and every reason to vote for the guy they have seen on TV.
Not exactly the way I would like CA to swing conservative, but any port in a storm.....
The number would be substantially larger had they allowed Coloradans to vote.
They are not afraid of Trump losing to Hillary, they know he will win and that is why the globalist neocon uni-party is afraid.
I quit listening to broken record Hugh recently, but let me guess: he gave a rundown of the delegates in the remaining states he would “give” Trump, but magically (as always), Hugh’s total left Trump short of the delegates needed to get the nomination on the first convention ballot, and look out, THERE’S GOING TO BE A CONTESTED CONVENTION!
Then Hugh repeated all of the above to every guest on his show and they all agreed with him, and also agreed that only Ted Cruz could beat Hillary.
...but his NEGATIVES!
/s
I highly doubt it, unless we see a mass of blue collar workers that voted Democrat before switch now to Trump.
Populism I agree, which is not a great thing. In the past populists have been bad news.
***Let’s hope Rush realizes this today and isn’t trying to act as though Cruz is still viable ***
He didn’t. I’m sorry you still think Rush is going to wake up and all of a sudden no longer be an establishment goon. He isn’t.
They’re all in. Except for Beck. He’s all in the nuthouse.
The GOP is such a stupid party. Trump has expanded the party like no candidate outside of Reagan and they are trying to destroy him.
Yea they sure are trying to destroy him.
To me it is just more proof of the uniparty. I am sure both sides of the isle spend their afternoons, behind closed doors, laughing at us and lighting their cigars with our tax dollars.
