About that small pool of GOP voters in Washington D. C.

Surprising only to someone not paying attention
Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, claimed all 19 convention delegates and carried more than 62% of the vote among the small pool of DC Republicans who participated in the three-day primary. She now takes her challenge to Trump to more than a dozen primaries being held on "Super Tuesday" — Trump is favored to win those contests, but the surprising result in Washington could augur better days for her campaign.

7.6% of registered Republicans voted.  Apparently Trump's mug shot did not resonate with voters in D.C., where 44.3 % of the population is Black.
