In just 4 years the GOP may have lost as many as five percentage points of self identifies.
Pretty soon the R party will just be a bunch of HS educated white men who really want tax cuts for the elites.
"In January of this year, a Gallup poll asked respondents: “In politics, as of today, do you consider yourself a Republican, a Democrat or an independent?”
Thirty-four percent said Democrat, 25 percent said Republican -- and a whopping 39 percent chose independent. That’s a 5 percent drop for the GOP from four years ago."
I'd wager a guess that a non insignificant percentage of hardcore Trump supporters identify as Independent. They basically voted the guy in as a rejection of traditional parties and Washington politics after all.
probably true. Which would help trump in 2020 but very bad for the GOP in 2022 and beyond. Unless the GOP goes full on banana republic and becomes a dynasty of corrupt trumpists.
