Much of the time even in states like NC and SC (graham is tied but Trump is well ahead). It is because their voters actually see the establishment GOP as extremist religious freaks, and rump as somehow a moderate. Painting Trump as a swamp religious extremist like the gop could be a very good winning strategy.

I mean the GOP has been using dog whistles for years but Trump gives them the real deal. He has made hate cool again.

Now they know Trump, so he's not doing that well. But, hes still far enough removed from them to maintain more popularity.
