Quote
Data compiled since the New York GOP primary shows that billionaire Donald Trump’s popular vote total in 2016 in states that have voted so far significantly exceeds the vote totals that Mitt Romney, the 2012 nominee, had in those states in total.

All in all, in the contests that have been had so far in 2016, Trump towers over Romney—having won more than 2 million more votes in the 2016 GOP primaries. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97%
, the next closest vote-getter to Trump this cycle, falls just under 300,000 votes short of Romney’s totals in the 2012 cycle.

In total, Trump has received 8,776,586 votes so far this year in states that have already held primaries or caucuses or conventions. In those same states in 2012, Romney received 6,654,029 votes—a whopping 2,122,557 votes less than Donald Trump. That means Trump has gotten a 31.79 percent increase over Romney’s totals.

Meanwhile, Cruz, in states that have voted already in 2016 has received an impressive 6,452,032 votes. While admirable, that’s still 201,977 votes less than Romney’s 2012 totals in those states—a decrease of 3.04 percent from Romney’s 2012 votes.


The analysis shows that of the nearly 40 contests so far, Trump’s 2016 vote totals have demolished Romney’s 2012 vote totals in most places
.
Guess who got the NYT's endorsement in the GOP primary?

Romney had the primaries to himself by the end of March in 2012.  Santorum quit and that was it.

So that voting dropped off in April is no surprise as Romney had it wrapped up.

Neat stats.

Reality is that there have only been four primaries in April, and Cruz won 3 of them in CO (no actual votes cast), WI (Cruz win), Wyoming (Cruz win tiny state), and New York (Trump win).

So your post makes no sense, but thanks for sharing it as you circle the drain of credibility.   :thud:

I didn't realize that Trump was 2.3 million votes ahead of Cruz.  In the real world, we call that a landslide, and Cruz and Kasich would have already dropped out as well if their big money donors weren't desperate to get Hillary in the White House.
