I think most GOPers, and even right leaning Independents, will simply say that Trump is right -- Both sides were fighting, the counter-protesters should have stayed home.

I honestly think most GOPers are OK with Neo-Nazis and racists, but believe they should not be too visible. You don't have to protest with Nazi and confederate flags, just vote for racists like Trump and most GOPers.

Our main advantage is probably drawing a portion of the 40% or so of likely Democrats who don't vote.
