Even during the blue wave last month they still voted republican by 40 points.

I don't think for many it is Trump it is R & D and so many are so firmly entrenched in their thinking that literally nothing will move them. The ones who moved were mostly independents.

Sometimes people even if they know they are wrong dig in because of pride, wonder how many will die because of their pride.

Sometimes I think what would it take for me to turn like that, to vote for the other side.
