DICKERSON: Speaking of winning in November, the Republicans seem to have all of the enthusiasm. More people are turning out for their primary process, much more than Democrats. Won’t that hurt in the battle in November?
CLINTON: Well, I don’t know exactly what that means.
I have gotten more votes than anybody running on either side. I have gotten more votes than Donald Trump, although I’m sure he doesn’t want to hear that. And we have gotten it from a wide, broad base. In fact, I have gotten — in the Democratic primary election, I have gotten more white voters, except for the state of Vermont. All told, I have had more support from white voters.
So, I feel really good about where our campaign is and where it’s going.
With two sentences, Hillary Clinton shattered one of the biggest myths of the 2016 election.
Hillary Clinton is correct. She has gotten more votes than Donald Trump overall, and in states like Virginia, Georgia, and Texas. Hillary Clinton has gotten the most votes of any of the 2016 candidates. The Republican enthusiasm that the media claims is fueling Trump’s campaign is a myth. Voters are turning out on the Republican side because they have a more competitive primary. Republican voters are also turning out because most of them are trying to stop Donald Trump.
The media keeps hyping their Trump ratings meal ticket as a viable general election candidate, but the raw vote totals suggest that there is a significant chance that Donald Trump will get beaten badly in November. Trump is winning because the Republican Party is a fractured mess that is at war with itself.
Clinton ripped the heart out of the Trump campaign by pointing out that she is getting more votes than he is. If matched up head to head in November, the odds are good that Hillary Clinton will continue to get more votes than Donald Trump.
