Byron York: “Why the silence from Ryan’s Republicans in the House? Well, one reason might be that Trump is winning their districts.”
“Each member of the House represents a district, average size about 700,000 people. According to my calculations from a breakdown of voting provided by 538’s Nate Silver, 115 congressional districts voted in the race from Iowa through the first Super Tuesday. Trump won the majority of them.”
