Republicans don't hate Trump - At all.
They hate that we keep pointing out how awful he is, but they don't care that he's awful

(11,949 posts)My wife is not all that political and we have been together 33 years. I think she may be still registered republican. Not sure as we stay out of each others business.
But she will be voting straight Democratic this round. I know that for sure as she asked me to go over the sample ballot we received.
She worked overseas for the first 6 months of 2016 and was so embarrassed that trump was popular.
She is a continual reminder that we on DU are not the norm when it comes to politics.
I guess I should get on to her about changing her registration but every couple has their boundaries.
And as long she is voting Democratic I really dont see the need to bring it up.

(3,384 posts)That's just the evangelicals. So I would say close to 20-25%

(14,565 posts)That category has very little variance, especially on the GOP side and when the Roper numbers are used instead of the exit polls that appear on CNN.
Far too much adjusting and anecdotal reliance going on. McCain only lost 9% to Obama in 2008. That's the highest Republican betrayal since 1976, other than the 3-way races of 1980, 1992 and 1996

I am of the opinion that Republican turnout despite what people may think is going to be depressed.
At a very basic level deep down in our core we are voting to save our lives. They on the other hand are in the position of risking their lives to vote. Because they are waiting for the day much more then we are that unconscious deep motivation will allow enough of them to make excuses that it will matter.
