3. testing my hypothesis

Going back 30 years... other than that one time the Republicans had two warns running on election day, Trump is their best performing candidate. Keep in mind that after four years of openly racist, fascist, dishonest government and in the middle of performing worse than every other country in the world on the pandemic by force of his sheer incompetence, Trump actually improved over his 2016 percentage by 2.8 points.
We've got a problem, folks. 2020 - 48.9% ...  almost jumped the shark there
2016 - 46.1 2012 - 47.2 2008 - 45.7 2004 - 50.7 ... only time this century the GOP won a majority 2000 - 47.9 1996 - 40.7 (45% of non Perot votes) 1992 - 37.5 (46% of non Perot votes) |

16. Yes, but how strongly? Only 55% in CPAC's straw poll voted for Trump?!
|
They even packed the poll by running Trump and DeSantis (a courtesy to FL's governor) with a bunch of people who angered the attendees by "betraying" Trump or refusing to be there. Hang-Pence got 1%.
And in a poll that simply asked if they wanted Trump to run in 2024, only 68% gave the great man the loyal courtesy of a check by his name. Not saying Scott's right. Trump's "voters" would support a coup today making him their dictator. But he can't pull that off, and, if this ultraloyal crowd is any indication, guessing more than half would ditch their old dud just as fast for a new strongman.  |
