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

trixare4kids · Mar 4, 2020

Despite being an uncontested incumbent, President Trump managed to break several turnout and vote-count records in blue states and key swing states.

In Vermont and Minnesota, Trump’s vote totals beat every past incumbent’s total in the last four decades. In Maine, the president’s vote total bested every primary candidate’s total since before President Ronald Reagan. In Massachusetts, the story was similar, with Trump aggregating a higher vote total than past incumbent Republicans since before Reagan.

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

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.
Remember everyone, this election ain't over until the fat lady sings...

He did so well winning uncontested. Almost like it wasn't even a challenge to defeat the write in vote for Mickey Mouse.

I guess you missed the point.

It was the numbers of people who still came out to show they supported him in those "uncontested" ballots.

If that many turn out where there was no need...consider how many will turn out when the actual election happens? :coffeepap:

Yeah, but I would like to know the "Specifics"?

Did Trump break the record by 1 vote? A 100, A 1000?

There is no talk about it in the MSM but on Tuesday while everyone was watching results over who will garner the most delegates in the Democratic primary, in California the Republicans came out to vote for the GOP candidates running in 9 different districts. There were multiple GOP candidates on several of the ballots but if you tally the votes among them they trounced the Democrat incumbent. Several of these seats were flipped in 2018 that were once red. Looks like after the last two years the people in these districts are ready to make their wrong a right.

The Republicans need only 18 seats to take back the House. With a possible 9 seats in CA how good will it be throughout the country?

I looked and did not see any raw numbers, do you?

Now we have this coming from the Trump campaign about his rallies

For example, in Nevada – the most recent blue state where the Trump campaign held a rally – 27 percent of rally registrants were black or Latino and 32 percent of registrants overall did not vote in 2016.

With Latinos out numbering Blacks due to Democratic open borders policies, the Democratic Party now treats black voters like they don't exist.

You do know right now, last month in Jan we had the same amount of illegal's apprehended at the border as the last years/months of the Obama admin?

the Democratic Party now treats black voters like they don't exist.

How do you figure?

I think you're jumping the gun Vesp

Based on early results, Republican candidates are ahead in two of the seven House districts they lost in 2018,

Are we going to do this every election? California votes are valid if postmarked by Election Day. Barely half the votes are likely counted at this point. One day after the primary in 2018, so many articles were written about how it was the worst California turnout ever. It ended up breaking the record for highest. Even once the votes were counted in the primary, Republicans had 50% or more in 8 districts Dems won in November. And of course the late votes trend Democratic. On the general election night Republicans les in 6 districts Democrats ended up carrying. Trump led in the national popular vote on election night when Hillary ended up winning by 2% mostly due to the late counted California votes.

I wouldn’t mind seeing some of those Democrats knocked off, but this isn’t as big a sign toward that as it looks.

Disappointed that this article turned out to be so deceptively written. Minnesota, Maine, and Colorado had caucuses in previous elections before switching to primaries for this year. Obviously causes have much lower turnout than primaries. And Massachusetts has about 700,000 more residents than it did in 2004, the last time a Republican has an uncontested primary there. They also point out 1.4 million votes in California like it’s a huge number, not noting it’s less than he got in 2016 or less than Romney in 2012. (Although as I said in that previous post, lots of uncounted votes there. It will go up.)

I know it was written by Trump’s campaign’s Press Secretary, but this is just intentionally deceptive.

What news was the MSM supposed to report? You guys akways moanabout the media, but the actual event that was newsworthy was tge Democratic pronary.

You don't want a fair media, you want the bias to swing the other way. "In todays news, President Trump woke up yhis morning and took a ****! All hail his greatness!"

Give me a break. I know you think he's God, but for Crisy's sake....

There was no news there. You could say it the other way too, if everyone who voted in the Demicratic primary shows up in the general, that's not really good news for Trump.

(Can we still say " For Christ's sake" or should that be "For Trmp's aake?" I don't want to upset those of you who can't tell the difference)

The information I viewed on these races most data came from well over 50% of the votes counted and it looks promising for Republicans in November.

I saw a nice chart with the turnout numbers and how much turnout Trump received compared to all prior incumbents. It was very large differences, not in the hundreds but thousands/tens of thousands.

I can't find that, but I did find the below, which provides some details on the pre-super tuesday results:

That's because the OP article was written by a Trump campaigner. This from the article:

Kayleigh McEnany is the national press secretary for President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign. She was the former national spokesperson for the Republican National Committee and a former CNN political commentator. McEnany is the author of "New American Revolution: The Making of a Populist Movement."

Since I support voting for everyone, I'm glad that Republicans had a good turnout in the primary. Congrats! Did you, by any chance, compare the turnout for Republicans to that of Democrats in those districts?
