Also, the national map itself is starting to divide, with the “blue” winner taking the West and East coasts, and the “red” winner typically winning the middle. The national map below is almost more indicative of a presidential election, not a party nomination process – but the schisms in the Republican party are deep, and the wounds are starting to fester:
