Same thing for Bernie Sanders.
In the few states that allowed it...independents voted for him in droves and he won those states. But in the states that DON'T allow it...Clinton won.

But keep in mind...according to PEW research last year...32% of people are registered Democrats. Only 23% of people are registered Republicans.
Meanwhile 39% of all people identify as Independent.

In the general election you can vote for anyone you like. All those independents, republicans, and democrats can vote for anyone...regardless of their party.

So we will see if independent voters want to vote for an establishment candidtate like Hillary. Or an outsider like Trump.

It's easy to look at some of the data and cherry pick it. That's what the analysts on the news programs and in the press have been doing.
And it's why they have been 100% WRONG on everything they have predicted so far.
