How Trump maintains his high approval ratings among Republicans

... Republican strategist Evan Siegfried said that since Dec. 2015 to March 2017 the GOP lost 23 percent of young voters in their party.

“And we are not seeing that attrition end,” he said. “We’re seeing more and more Republicans, who can’t stand this, saying ‘I’m no longer a Republican.’ And that is the problem. That’s why you’re seeing the approval ratings, because it’s only the people who are 100 percent behind Donald Trump who are saying, ‘He’s doing a great job'” ...

And the Trumpanistas remained behind, the GOP will be left with a higher percentage of cultists who make up the overall number.

I’m wondering what’s the overall number of people who identify as GOPrs today versus how many there were two years ago.

And always remember, one out of three trumpanistas are just as fucking racist and stupid as the other two.

They lack the ability to look in the mirror and admit that they are wrong. They know that they were so wrong regarding Don the Con that their insecurity has manufactured an equal and opposite denial. They are a very weak people.
