Counting Tennessee’s congressional districts for Trump, that’s 63 out of the 115 CDs for him in the first-voting states. (Trump was also second in many of the CDs he lost.)

I don’t have many numbers for the states that followed. But some: Kansas has four CDs; Trump won none. Kentucky has six; Trump won the state. Louisiana has six CDs; Trump won them all. Beyond that, Trump has won solid victories in Michigan, Florida, Mississippi, Illinois, and other states; he presumably picked up most of the congressional districts there.

Of course, not all of those congressional districts are represented by Republicans. But of the ones that are — if you are a Republican member from a district Trump won, what value is it to you to publicly dump on the candidate who won your district? Shouldn’t you assume that, even with the inclusion of nontraditional Republican voters, most of the voters who elected you also voted for Trump? It’s not hard to see why elected representatives would choose not to go on the warpath against the choice of their own voters.

Trump critics might call that cowardice. More neutral observers might call it the way democracy works.
