Weirdly, some are saying 55 percent would vote for him if there were other choices. Of course, I am sure Trump would demand to be the ONLY choice.

And while in 2016, the other candidates might have united against him-- they were too scared-- now no one will even run against him.

Only 55% of the GOP’s most loyal activists said they’d vote for him in the primaries given other choices, and only 68% want him to run at all.


The others in the second question are 32% (as in 32% do not even want him to run, thus the 'cancel' number in the OP).

that anyone at CPAC would ever see Trump for who he is. I didn't think he could go any lower but he outdid himself. Heartbreaking when you think about the children growing up in these families and learning that they should follow a leader who preaches and lives immersed in hate, lying, bigotry, vengeance and violence.
