We all know this, of course, but sometimes considering the stats is reaffirming.Republicans make up just 25% of the voting population. This means Trumps real support is only (.75 X 25%). In other words 18.75 % of the population. So Republicans need Trump worship to get through their primaries, but they need voter suppression and fraud to defeat Democrats.
