Remember when I said that Trump will fail to get 20% of the “established Republicans” vote in the November general election?
As many as one out of five Republican voters have said they will not support Trump in the general election. Spurred on by a Twitter Hashtag, blogger Erick Erickson, National Review, and an electrifying letter from Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse, a grassroots revolt is underway by the reliable Republican base. Schoolteachers, military officers, Kiwanis Club Presidents, cops, business owners, weekly church worshipers, etc are all saying one thing: Nominate Trump and you elect Hillary President ‘cuz we will sit the November election out.
I wasn’t joking. That one in five number hasn’t moved. Not only will those established Republican voters refuse to vote for Donald Trump, they want him to drop out of the race:
Nearly one-fifth of registered Republicans want Donald Trump to drop out of the race for the White House, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday, reflecting the turmoil his candidacy has sown within his party.
It’s almost as if “Project GOP Mayhem” was planned last year.
