In 2008, the last open primary for both (i.e. no incumbent), the Dems had over 35 million votes cast, the Republicans around 22 million. In 2000 the Dems had a presumptive nominee in Gore, so the GOP did have more turnout then however.
People need to give up acting like Trump has no chance. Just look at the tantrums Bernie supporters are throwing right now, saying they'll vote for Trump over Hillary because there's no way he can be worse and he's at least an outsider, he's not a criminal etc... Trump is absolutely a threat to win, and I'm sticking with him as a slight favorite for now.
