    I I mean if you subtract the 20 to 30% that vote Republican no matter what you’re basically there.

      And that’s based mostly on a rural urban divide, where republicans in rural areas act like an outsider from the city.

        Yea. I get that rural and urban areas have different issues and vote for candidates they hope will represent them best.

        The issue is that no candidate truly represents their constituents any more because they are funded by corporations whose agendas are directly opposed to both rural and urban citizens.

        Politicians campaign on empty promises and fool voters into electing them on false promises and policies and immediately pass laws that favor their financial donors instead.

      But another 20% will still vote for the next Republican who is not Trump. Even though the systemic Republican incompetence that led Bush II into the Iraq War is exactly the same systemic Republican incompetence that led Trump into Iran War.
