85. Only half of the people in this country vote. Of that half, half are Democrats and half are Repubs.

Of that 25% of the America population that votes for Repubs, only 27% prefer Trump. Are you really scared of Trump's 6.75% approval by the American Voting population? He's a media creation, less substantial than the hot air he spews. Turn off any show that depicts him and laugh at anyone who takes him seriously.
