Donald Trump and traditional Democrats voting in open Republican primaries

03/26/2016

A NYT report shows that the support of traditional Democrats in Blue states such as Massachusetts and in the midwest has helped propel Trump to a series of wins in Republican primaries in Jan-March 2016. There is also some correlation with a higher degree of racism, according to this NYT report. This is how Trump was able to combine wins in Mississippi and Massachusetts. Conversely states with higher serious churchgoers such as Utah and Texas have supported Ted Cruz. This theory has exceptions because of John Kasich's win in Ohio, Cruz's win in Maine and his close contest with Trump in Louisiana and Missouri, showing that a number of factors are at work, including Trump's ability to appeal to voter sentiment on issues, the fragmentation of the Republican vote, and the lack of connection with voters on issues of terrorism, security, struggling middle and working class people issues, of the other candidates. The profiles of Trump voters from his rallies show these concerns listed by his supporters.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
