In the Republican party of some people's wistful imagination, perhaps, but not in the actual one.
Trump is broadly unpopular with the American people as a whole, and every common demographic subset of them other "white males without a college degree".
But among Republican party members? His claims of "94%" are bullshit, naturally, but the actual results of real mainstream polling[1] put it north of 80%.
To paraphrase Marlo Stanfield: A lot of people want America to be one way. But it's the other way.
