“But Donald still won with 83.5% of the vote.”
Dang. That’s a huge, gigantic blow. How will he ever recover?
Historically, in presidential elections, 10% of GOP voters vote for the Dem and about 10% of Dem voters vote for the GOP guy. 3/4 of these Haley people will “return home” in the general and a handful of others will vote Biden — adding up to the 10% historical norm.
And the reverse will happen among the Dems.
No change in this. Except for one huge thing.
Dems and GOP voters have disappeared. 46% are not independent and 27% fringe voters are still GOP or Dem. Independents care about Drain the Swamp and need not care about anything else.
