    Go look at turnout data. So far, republican turnout has been close to double from 2008 while the Dems have gone down. This favors Trump and is a direct reason he won the primary.

    Here are four articles that dispell your assertion that high voter turnout in primaries is an indication of general election results. If you like I can post the other ten thousand like them. So, no it doesn't favor Trump. It doesn't favor anybody.

    Trump is driving people to the polls. Your articles do not disprove that.

    I never made the correlation to primary results predict a win. Only that it shows the level of interest and support.

    It would be nice if you had the capacity to form an original thought.

    Because you know. It's not about polls, it's about how well a candidate turns out people to vote and HRC has a poor track record. Bernie should have been asleep months ago according to "polls".

    Sure sounds like you were saying it favors him in the general.

    It would be the same as saying the amount of enthusiasm Obama had 2008 had no effect on the general election. Which would be false.

    So NC refuting that it would make a difference made sense, yet you said that was not what you were inferring. Which is it?
