With all the talk about exactly how crazy and cult-like the Republican Party has become, we do need to keep one thing in mind:

Let’s say that America was a room of 100 people. 25 of those people would be Republicans. 32 Democrats. And 41 Independents.

And it’s a little more complex than that. Only 58% of those 25 Republicans (15 people) really love Trump. 20% of the 25 (5 people) are okay with him. The other 5 of the 25 Republicans don’t like him. Hi, Liz and Adam! You guys are invited to the cookout!

So 15 of the 100 people in the room are the kind of Republicans who you might see at Matt Gaetz/Marjorie Taylor-Greene Klan Bake ... er ... Clam Bake. Another 5 may not love him but like him. The other 5 of the 25 Republicans in the room of 100 Americans are not into him.

32 of the 100 people are Democrats. 8% of the 32 (3 people, rounding up) love Trump (hey, Kanye!). 9% of the 32 (also 3 people) think he’s okay.

And 41 of the 100 people are Independents. 28% or 12 people really like him. 16% or 7 people think he’s okay.

So there are people out there who like Trump or at least tolerate him. But it’s not the majority and never has been.

But the people who are turning the GOP into the Shrine of Trump - that’s a smaller slice of the American electorate.
