Why do people keep bringing this up in regards to defending his historically weak primary performance?
By the time the Iowa caucus was done, 8 people dropped out, after New Hampshire 3 more did, then bush dropped out after South Carolina.
During the vast majority of the actual voting period he was only competing against 2-3 people(Rubio/Kasich/Cruz) and his actually voting percentage was consistently around 35-38 percent which is terrible.
It was only till the east coast primaries and after Cruz/Kasich dropped out(after Indiana) till he started dominating percentage wise.

And, this Tuesday, 25% of the republican voters actually STILL voted for someone other than trump. No wonder trump has been trying to divert attention away from his current campaign by making disparaging remarks about the judge in his California case.

It was evident for quite some time that Trump was going to be the nominee. I mean, seriously, look at the others. At this point, it doesn't really matter. Trump is gaining support all the time and people are just over the, God please let it not happen, prospective nominee of the Dem Party.

75% > 25% at least it was when I went to school. Well, many of the Cruz supporters, the diehard born-agains (not successful on their first try) don't engage in media because it would "corrupt" them (they can do a pretty good job on their own without media). Some believe that one of the admitted losers in the GOP will rise again from the grave that their campaign is and reign supreme. Doesn't say much for those that voted for other GOP candidates, thus we are leaving them in the dust.

Divide a number by 16, you will get smaller amount than if you divide it by 2.
Pick any number > 2 and you still get same answer. This was once taught in first grade.

Quit trying to make the anti-Trumps think! If they were thinking in the first place, they would be on the Trump Train!

That trump only got a little over 1/3 of the votes in a three-way split says that only a little over 1/3 of the folks actually wanted to vote for him instead of one of the other options. That is not strong support, no matter how you do the math.
It wasn't any overwhelming support for trump. If he had won by over 50% consistently, with other options available, you would have a slightly better case, but he didn't.
And, he still had 25% voting for someone other than him, even when he was the only candidate who hadn't suspended his campaign.
Trump and his fans need to quit bragging about "beating 16." If he had been running against a smaller field where he couldn't have gotten away with just sound bites and his TV fame he wouldn't gotten this far. He hasn't won the majority support of his party because it was so fractured and split between so many.

What do you try to say, that Hillary made the finish line without Super delegates?
Talking about someone else and make a winning ticket look bad does reflect on you and your personal view but not on reality.
