Half prefer him over anyone else ever.

Of the remaining half, half of those are still happy to vote for him.

Or, almost three quarters of Republicans (a large majority) support him.

And the majority of elected Republicans have endorsed Trump as the nominee before the primary.

What are soon to former Republicans continue to struggle with the fact Republican now equals Trumpism.

Five voters returning their support for Trump.

Four of five are 60+ yrs old.

I agree with the other commenters that these individuals still think Trump is the character he played on The Apprentice.

Their age is a factor.

The world keeps speeding up, and these people can't handle.

Mean ol' Donnie dog whistling makes them feel safer (because the people they hate are the ones "responsible" for what's wrong), and ok to be bitter, and honest about who and why they hate.

It's "othered" brown (usually Muslim or Mexican) or LGBTQ people, a functional government, & paying for either.

Lead poisoning & a Fox News diet can really mess you up.
