John McCain got nearly 60 million votes while being crushed by Obama (69 million votes) in 2008.

As I mentioned above, Trump got more than 13 million votes in the Republican primary process: 13.3 million to be exact, according to RealClearPolitics. If Trump continues to run a Republican primary campaign masquerading as a general election campaign, it might cost his party not only the White House but also the majority in Congress. And Romney lost — convincingly — to President Obama, who got nearly 66 million votes.
