>> And Republicans chose Donald Trump as their leader in order to disprove this perception? Republicans are split on Trump: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2022/08/09/2-traits-of-the-parties-trump-and-the-gop/ https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2022/08/09/2-traits-of-... My guess is that if Trump runs for president in 2024 he will split the Republican vote and will not win.

How did the Republicans split in 2016 and 2020?
- thesuperbigfrog 4y ago
  If I remember correctly the split was practically zero in 2016 (Trump vs. Hillary Clinton), and about 75% for Trump / 25% against Trump in 2020 (Trump vs. Biden). Trump's role in the January 6th insurrection, Trump's claims that the election was stolen, and his pressure on voting officials to "find the votes"[1] have caused about half of Republicans to turn against him and other Republicans that support him.

Edit: Republican support for Trump in 2020 was stronger than I remembered: "Ideological divisions within the parties were also apparent in the vote, with both Trump and Biden doing better among the ideological core of their parties. Trump received the votes of 97% of conservative Republicans and leaners but a smaller majority (79%) of Republicans who describe themselves as moderate or liberal. Biden took 98% of the vote among liberal Democrats and leaners and 91% among those who are moderate or conservative."

    The amazing thing for most of the rest of us (not Republicans) is that anybody thought that guy was anything but a charlatan all along. Really. He talked like a car saleman, said "I" every third word, and couldn't perform even the rudiments of the job. So that's where some of the view of Republicans comes from.

Neocons hate Trump. Liz Cheney and Hillary Clinton are neocons, which are a faction in both of the big two parties.
