Eric Trump knows that the numbers matter in a campaign, and he has been keeping his eyes closely on the critical race for the Republican nomination in Michigan. He knows that Trump needs Michigan to ensure that he is on the Republican ticket again in 2020. Thus it was that Eric took to Twitter this morning to let us know that victory was in hand, and not just any victory, a big victory.
With 99% reporting in Michigan, @realDonaldTrump [1] has 637,000+ votes, absolutely crushing previous Republican and Democrat incumbents… By comparison Obama had 174k votes in 2012.

Yes, raw numbers really do mean a lot in comparing Obama and Trump’s off year primary elections. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that no one ever heard of anyone running against Obama? Perhaps because Obama wasn’t a cult leader? But I do want to encourage Eric to continue to follow meaningless stuff that couldn’t matter less.
Of course, while bragging about Trump’s fantastic numbers – since Eric seems to think these are important, he failed to mention that the Democrats voted at over 2:1 for the Democrats over Trump:
Democrats cast more than 1,500,000 votes… dude, that's 2:1.

Or maybe it is the Trump realization that no one in the Trump family will ever live up to Obama? Thus Obama is the Trump great “white” whale (funny irony there), and they will never catch him:

Some very funny references were made to past Donald Trump identities, any of whom might have won the Michigan primary, since no one was really going up against Trump:
Isn’t it pretty easy to win a primary when you’re running unopposed? Shades of daddy’s BFF Putin. I’m not certain which Trump is the dopiest. pic.twitter.com/w82043itms [6]

I think it is absolutely critical that every time Eric raises his ugly head to utter stupid sentence-like noises from his mouth, he gets a dose of the shame that he deserves so much:

There we go.
One would think that would teach Eric a lesson. But, as we have seen, there are some people that are simply unteachable. Eric is one, but it is fun trying.

Peace, y’all
