Serious question: What percentage of the GOP are "the Deplorables"?

[Stinky The Clown]

If the GOPee were to split, what percentage would go with Donnie and what percentage would stay with the "sober" leadership?

I'm thinking the thirty years of Roger Ailes/Breitbart/Hannity/Rush/Coulter has created a warm and comfy home for these people. I'm thinking there are quite likely fewer "sober" GOPers than nut jobs.

1. Name a non-deplorable Republican

There are a few. But just a few.

[gopiscrap]

29. he's deplorable just by being a repuke

he's an enabler

[Proud liberal 80]

2. 70%

[Foggyhill]

6. 37/47 so about 72-77%

These people are impossible to peel off

[Mary Mac]

3. im seeing in charlotte the women can be peeled away

And the men are wavering between Gary and Hillary

[texasfiddler]

4. 50-60%

[Foggyhill]

8. It's sadly higher than that

[guillaumeb]

5. Anyone who votes for Trump is deplorable in my view.

No matter if they believe his nonsense, or are supporting him for political reasons, they are deplorable.

[Achilleaze]

7. + 1

Anyone who is still a Republican at this stage has degenerated into negativity, anti-Americanism, and moral decay past the point of salvation.

[Foggyhill]

11. Because of gerrymandering these people will be able to inflict

Damages for decades
Abolishing gerrymandering, putting back voting rights and reversing citizens united is more important than ever

[guillaumeb]

13. I believe in salvation and forgiveness.

My answer should have made an exception for those frightened and angry people who are confused as to why they are doing so badly.

[alcibiades_mystery]

9. I'd say 35%

Enough to hold the rest hostage.

An additional 15% hold some rather demented beliefs, but are generally decent.

[JanMichael]

24. I would say "generally harmless" not "decent". nt

[tonyt53]

10. About half. The rest really do hate Hillary so much that they would destroy the country over it.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

12. We got the exact figure yesterday: 74 percent

Who stood by him after the tape came out:

[underpants]

14. #'s don't matter - $ does

You get the money, then you get the power, then you get the um numbers
-paraphrasing "Tony Montoya" "Scarface"

They can get the numbers. Who will the big donors back? Has he turned the riff raff on the party heads? How will the money bags react when their 25 year plan to ruin Hillary fails?

[Lanius]

15. At least 50 percent; at most 75 percent

are deplorable, IMO. They might not be rabid Drumpf fans, but I'd say most hold racist, sexist, homophobic and/or xenophobic views. And I'd say most Republican voters are anti-Muslim, anti-Arab and anti-Jew to some degree. Also I'd say most GOP supporters hate (or at least dislike) the poor, whom they see as lazy moochers.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

16. To me

100%

[louis-t]

17. Anyone who votes for drumpf is deplorable.

[Missn-Hitch]

18. 75%. She woefully underestimated the deplorables in the basket.

[world wide wally]

19. 71.2% from my calculations

[BigRig]

20. Anyone who would vote for a confessed sexual predator...

So I guess we find out on election day. Happy voting deplorables!

[Lucinda]

21. Whatever Trumps final numbers turn out to be. n/t

[kentuck]

23. Since he is running about 35% in the polls right now....

and if half of those are "deplorables", that means about 1 out of every 5 Americans, at a minimum, is a "deplorable".

[6000eliot]

26. The percentage who will still vote for Trump.

[Warpy]

27. Nixon got rid of a lot of reasonable Republicans

Reagan pulled them back in for a little while (the so-called "Reagan Democrats&quot but they'd started to drift away again thanks to scandals like Iran Contra. Daddy Bush got rid of a few thanks to his economic bungling and raising the taxes he swore he'd never raise. Stupid chased a lot of them off.

That left a hard core that's about 35% of the electorate, some of them legacy Republicans and the rest looking for permission to be assholes. I'd say a good 70% of them are in the latter category.

[gopiscrap]

28. 100%

all republicans are shit stain scum of the earth. Our nation would be better off with out them. I have unfriended every republican on facebook...I make sure I am not friends with a republican, they are dead to me. My in laws have not seen their grandchildren because they are republican and my kids are 19 and 16

[MicaelS]

32. And what will you do if your

Children want to visit their relatives? Disown them?

[gopiscrap]

33. they won't

they are both hard core Dems my son even more so than I.. But if they would, yes, I would disown them.

[doc03]

30. Anyone that still supports trump now is deplorable nt

[Initech]

31. I'd say 98% (with a +-2% margin of error).

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

34. I'm with you... 2% could be reprogrammed with long-term therapy.

[Raine]

35. That would be my guess 95% - 98% nt
