Haley is a standard Republican. Trump has a cult following of people who have invaded the party. Trump originally was going to run as a Democrat but didn't get the nomination. He then switched to Republican where he did.
Had he received the Democrat nomination, the Maga people would have gone Democrat.
The people who vote for Biden, would vote for almost any Democrat. THe people who vote for Trump, most likely wouldn't vote Republican otherwise. I know several life long Democrats who voted for Trump. Other than Trump, they don't like Republicans. He is so disliked, that Republicans were openly telling people to vote for Joe Biden.

It's why I don't want Trump to win I want a traditional Republican like Haley to win.
While there are things I like about De Santis, there are things I don't like about him. He comes off as very petty.
I know you really like talking about Biden, but the question was about Trump so let's stay on topic.
Are you saying that 62% of GOP members would be democrats if Trump was on that side?
No. I never said but there would be an increase
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama–Trump_voters
So what percent of GOP voters would go to the other side if Trump did?
We from the article I cited. About 11-15%
That would be devastating for the GOP to lose 11-15% of their voters.
But your numbers don't work. You say GOP was invaded by MAGA. You say MAGA is 11-15% of GOP voters. Where does Trump's other 47% (62-15) support come from?
Not my numbers. Did you read the cite?
I'm asking about the discrepancy in the numbers you are supplying to me in this conversation.
Don't deflect, unless you have no respect for me or this conversation at all.
Well, don't make things up. I didn't create the article. I cited it. Read the article as it answers your question.
I have read the article, it doe not explain the differences in the numbers you've supplied to me.
Telling me I'm making stuff up is not respectful, civil or furthering this conversation in any way and might even be against this community's rules.
I'd be interested to see what BlameMeta's take on that it.
