Trump's revenge tour is not so impressive
There are 3 buckets of voters. Republicans, Independents and Democrats. Almost every Republican primary this cycle has been closed.
Trump's approval among Republicans is 84%, among Indies it's 25% and Dems are at 3%. Since the primaries are closed, the only bucket eligible to vote are the 84%. Wining these primaries don't mean shit. It's like a Jim Jones endorsement and the only eligible voters live in Jonestown. Big fucking deal.
