This is no way comparable to what Reagan did.

By this date in 1980, Reagan had a majority vote in only two states, so it really does remain to be seen. Later votes gravitate toward one candidate, usually the front-runner. Only Trump's 'high negatives' keep this cycle interesting.

“By this date in 1980, Reagan had a majority vote in only two states,”

By this date in 1980, Reagan had a majority vote in 3 out of the 6 states who had held primaries at the time. By the 11th, he had swept the 3 states up for grabs AL-70%, FL-56%, GA-73%. And only lost 4 more states from then on. More than half of those remaining he won by 70% or higher.
