    Will she though? Who is going to vote for Trump that would be willing to vote for the woman who condemned Trump instead?

      Country Club Republicans and Chamber of Commerce conservatives, as they’re commonly referred to. They make up a significant, but powerless, portion of the GOP base and are essential to winning any election that’s less than R+30.

      Probably people like my parents, who aren’t down with the far right but still don’t want to vote democrat. Makes no sense to me but there’s definitely a segment out there. If they know there is a less extreme GOP option they’ll vote that way 10 times out of 10.

        It makes sense if you have money and just want it to be taxed as little as possible. That’s not an excuse - just explaining the mentality.

      the same kind of person that voted for Obama twice and then Trump twice. I am sure they exist.
