They did, but basically no one had to go vote for Trump in a primary. Texas was an active primary for them. It surprised me that 1.9 million people wanted to do the gesture of going to vote for Trump in the primary considering he had no serious challenger.
a LOT of us did not go vote. There was almost nothing on the ballot for me but a sheriff and I was cool with either. As a matter of fact, I had no idea Trump was on the ballot. It did not say for me. Otherwise, my family would have definitely voted.
Am I missing something? Democrats got more combined votes.

I have done some analysis on prior primaries that I saw good trends on. I'll take a look at how this compares to 2012 and 2016
No need, CNN told me Trump is behind in all polls.
Now or four years ago today?

It’s your civic duty to vote every election. Not voting is a disgrace to all the men and women that died for your right to have a say.
I agree. I should have voted, but I am upset that anything on votetexas or ANY website for that matter did not show that Trump was on the Ballot.
I didn’t either. The ballot only showed dem candidates doing runoffs for my area.
I missed my own primary (out of state at the time) but probably wouldn't have gone anyway. In November I'll be there.
Plus 600k Bernie votes are hardly a straight translation to Dem votes in the presidential election.
You're missing math:
D: 1,955,901
R: 2,007,314
for an essentially meaningless R primary with no down-card matches except for the 13th District
While true, that won't be how the media spins it for the next few months.
My county this was listed as a Democrat runoff primary election. Tom Green County had less than 3% of registered Democrats at the polls!
Same with mine. People are getting confused at what this was yesterday.
