Turning to the General Election (Hill's Group)

Chuck Todd just dropped an interesting nugget.

One of the arguments Trump has been making is that he expands the Republican base. Todd said he's looked at the data, and Trump is not bringing in new voters. He's "shifting" voters to the primary is how Todd phrased it. Basically, Republicans that always vote Republican in the General Election but generally sit out the primary are instead voting in the primary.

All of that is good news for us.
