“Looks to me like they were already united prior to GW Bush being picked as the VP.”

You weren’t old enough to vote then - you said that yourself. I was. I remember that even in the convention, when Reagan unquestionably had the majority of the delegates, there was a SERIOUS question of party unity. People were even floating the idea of Gerry Ford coming in as Veep, to have a kind of “co-Presidency” - just to unify the party to defeat Carter. In the end, of course, that didn’t happen - but the GHWB pick DID. ONLY THEN was the party truly unified.

Oh, just wait until we get to the last dozen or so states this time around - Trump won’t have Kasich and Rubio to contend with, and it’ll be plain that he has a large lead over Cruz, so the numbers should be similar.

“You weren’t old enough to vote then - you said that yourself. I was.’

ok. but looking at the numbers. 85-90% of the popular support looks pretty united. Those are the actual numbers.
