Supposedly Romney lost because of conservative hold outs, Bill Clinton won because conservatives voted Ross Perot. Never underestimate the ability for a conservative to cut off his nose to spite his face. Maybe we are as dumb as democrats say we are.
Romney got over 90% of the republican vote. That’s a fact.
Trump is polling around 80% among republicans. If he was polling around 90% he would be far ahead of Hillary overall.
I believe Republicans will inevitably consolidate between now and election day. Historically Republicans are always more united than democrats in presidential elections.
That’s why most of the current polls are deceptive. They assume that 20% of Republicans will vote for Hillary. But these 20% are just nevertrumpers having a hissy fit. I doubt they will vote that way.
We have Obama because a lot of so-called conservatives stayed home in 2008. They gave the dims the House and Senate also.
