Nice graph. But that appears to be total popular vote for the candidates regardless of party breakdown.

Here are the exact numbers from the last three election cycles for the two major candidates (Democrat in parentheses)

2004 - 62,040,610 (59,028,444)
2008 - 59,948,323 (69,498,516)
2012 - 60,933,500 (65,915,796)

Pretty consistent turnout for the Republican candidate the past three cycles - right around 60-62 million. You have to think that Trump is going to drive that to 70 million or more considering he will be drawing heavily from those who usually vote Democrat (i.e. white Democrat males). In the end, all those "never Trumpers" are going to come around. They will likely never admit it but so long as they do the right thing when then get in the voting booth, I can live with that.

Personally I think Trump has a shot at winning 75,000,000 votes. This will put him in epic landslide territory.

Yup. The silent majority will vote for Trump. Until then many are just holding their cards close and/or pretending they support Hillary....stay under that radar.
