The Democrats won five straight elections in the 20th century, and will have won the popular vote in six of the last seven by the time Hillary is done curbstomping Trump.

Hillary isn't FDR....and Syria and Egypt are not WW 2.

Trump is better than Rafael Cruz......what swing state will Cruz bring to the GOP column in the general?.....most of the swing states he has come 3rd place or a far behind 2nd to Trump.

Hillary beats Trump in every one of the States he swept... I suppose saying if Hillary weren't a woman she wouldn't get 5%. Seems she is taking an unfair advantage over him? I suppose that is true.

And Trump is winning these voters too. No woman, who is working for a living, has any reason to support Hillary Clinton and her globalist backers. No woman with kids has any reason to support Hillary Clinton and her globalist backers.

By the time their children are raised, this corrupt bunch will have shipped all the good jobs overseas if it's not stopped. The only job they will be able to get is to join the Army so they can fight in one of the pointless globalist wars.

B) Some of the turnout he is delivering are Democrats who can't stand him. Trump has been great for re-energizing the Democrats. We all know Hillary would struggle with that without Trump.

C) More Republicans claim that they will sit home or vote Hillary/3rd Party than the # of new people he is bringing in, hence why his General Election polling is the worst and he is literally losing every single swing state and even some red states to Hillary. Therefore, he needs to finally start coming through on these claims.

This is now 6 states in a row where Trump has exceeded 50%+ by wide margin. 3 above 60%. This is far better than Ted Cruz's record. Since you give this as a standard of a successful candidate, then by your own standard you should admit that Trump is a better candidate than Cruz and start calling for Cruz to withdraw.

Oh and BTW, these were all primaries. Not party controlled caucuses.

This is whats really missed by the OP. And DEM turnout is down nationally by over 35%.

Quite devastating to the Democrats.
