Primary elections are preliminaries for the big event on November 2.
In this primary, it can be said that many people have voted and many have had their say.
The primary numbers don’t compare with the final election tallies.
The final election will bring out many more voters than in the primary.

In many respects, the primary is the election, except to say, primary winners, can down in flames in the election.
Second place finishers can battle to the top in the election and defeat the primary winner.
We’ve witnessed such political events during a long life. Margins are important.
Wide margins of loss in the primary are sometimes almost impossible to bridge in the election.
Yet many primary second placers can work hard and smart and finish off the primary winner in the finale on November 2. We learn that political campaigns are all idiosyncratic.
What does this mean?
