Trump's Super Tuesday results: Broad appeal beyond a united GOP

vesper said:
I understand but the majority of the seats I was referring to just narrowly lost to the Democrat in 2018. The GOP has really upped their ground game in those areas. Who knows maybe they will be the first ones to the nursing homes to get these folks to make out mail in ballots before the Dems do this year.;)

We'll see. Even before all these results get counted though, it's not looking like that to me. Just looking at the district you mentioned in 2018, after all the primary votes were counted, Valadao led the primary 63-37. He still lost in the general. And Cox plus the other Democrat are already 2% closer than they were yesterday with the combined Republicans only winning 55.8%-44.2%. It just doesn't look like the Republicans are doing any better than they were in 2018, even considering that all the primary votes aren't counted yet.

Pretty amazing considering how we are often told something different by the media, but Trump rally turnouts pretty much confirm the above.

The above is just one of the reasons I don't put much faith in the polls which have to do with Trump's popularity or
electability.

Putin marvels at such a result.

Here's one example of one of the seats that Dems flipped in 2018. In District 21 Valadao barely lost his seat to Cox and now he wants it back. If you add Valadao's numbers up along with the other GOP candidate versus the incumbent Cox's votes with the other Dem challenging him for the seat, it becomes obvious that Valadao has a very good chance to win back that seat.

I'm not sure how significant it will be for the general, but a good turn out in the primary is certainly a sign that the local party is doing it's job well. It'll be interesting to see how the results look when all the votes are counted.

Bernie had the best turnouts in the primaries and look what happened with the vote. Like Sanders, Trump has a loyal minority.

They have been doing that for two decades. They just haven't told the black people yet. They just ignored it when the Hispanics took the jobs that blacks used to do. Like carpentry, electrical, masonry, drywalling, car wash, congress, DMV

When will that happen?

They think the way to get him out of office is lie about what he's said and done, and of course, by calling him names.
The voting public knows better.

it will always mystify me why Trump supporters think they have some kind of moral high ground.

You're not the only one who is mystified. Assuming you know the meaning of the word.
How you arrived at the above from what I wrote above truly is a mystery. :lamo

If by "voting public" you mean Trump cult members, they love his name calling and lies, so why would they not like it from others?

Your article was written by Kayleigh McEnary, National Press Sect'y for Trump's 2020 campaign so perhaps we should forgive her breathless excitement that Trump won races with no opponents. What Ms McEnary failed to mention was that Democrats turned out in record numbers also.


Democratic voter turnout surged on Super Tuesday, exceeding 2016 levels in at least a dozen states and setting an all-time record in one of them.

In Virginia, the fourth most delegate-rich state ..... nearly 70 percent increase over 2016....... That surpasses a previous record set in 2008

In North Carolina, turnout was up by about 17 percent over 2016 levels.
... in Texas, at least 45 percent more voters went to the polls on Tuesday than showed up four years ago, according to an analysis of vote returns.

Turnout skyrocketed in Colorado, Maine, Minnesota and Utah Democratic turnout surges on Super Tuesday | TheHill

Indeed. The whole premise of the article is Republican primary voters in Republican counties turned out in large(r) numbers than they usually do for a Republican incumbent running largely uncontested. This does not signal a radical change or a groundswell of new Trump supporters going into the general election.

As before it will be up to the GOP to successfully suppress the vote in swing states, the Russians to influence social media and the Democrats to fumble the ball in the final nine yards. Trump's numbers aren't changing.

I don't think Democrats need to lie about what Trump's said and done. Trump seems quite able to do that himself. Yeah, Democrats often point out the orange hair and the silly twitters. But for name calling I think Trump is the champion. Didn't he just call the Governor of Washington a "Snake"? Woohoo how sharp and clever of Trump:fart.

Tell you what: improve your credibility and list some of those lies Democrats have told about Trump. Maybe start with the terrible lie that Democrats said Trump called the Washington Governor a 'snake'.
