It is literally ~60%-40% as of right now. I would hardly call that a crushing blow.

In politics? 20 points is a huge margin of victory. Anything over 10 is considered a landslide.

The rules are different for a second term primary. 85%+ is typical from what I've read. Especially when your voter base is bigoted and your opponent is female.

Maybe for a current incumbent. Not for someone running for the nomination.

If you've ever been to South Carolina, 20 points for Trump seems very low.
