http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/22/us/politics/republican-democratic-voters-poll.htmlAlarmed by the harsh attacks and negative tone of their presidential contest, broad majorities of Republican primary voters view their party as divided and a source of embarrassment and think that the campaign is more negative than in the past, according to a New York Times/CBS News national poll released on Monday.
The dismay has not set back their leading candidate, however. While about four in 10 Republican voters disapprove of how Donald J. Trump has handled the violence at some of his rallies, Mr. Trump has also picked up the most support recently as several rivals have left the race. Forty-six percent of primary voters said they would like to see Mr. Trump as the partys nominee, more than at any point since he declared his candidacy in June. Twenty-six percent favored Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, and 20 percent backed Gov. John Kasich of Ohio.
Fully three-quarters of Republican primary voters expect Mr. Trump to be their partys nominee.
Compared with Republicans, far more Democratic primary voters see their side as unified and say the campaign has made them feel mostly proud of their party.

(1,965 posts)1. Republicans Feel Embarrassed
It's been my long standing conviction, decades long, that thugs lack the capacity to feel embarrassment, just as they are incapable of feeling empathy, sympathy or humility... They've never once shown even a spark of anything that might cause me to consider there may be exceptions. None of them. Ever.
So I'm calling BOOLSHIT.

They would never vote for Democrat, but most are skipping this election altogether.
