About these primary votes

It's been stated here on DU recently. But I think the reason the far right nutjobs are winning primaries is because middle of the road "rational" Republicans have had enough of the stench. they're not showing up at the primaries.

The blue wave will happen because these same rational repubs will vote Democrat in November.

They won't say it, but vote it.

1. I think you overestimate the number of "rational Republicans" and...

...underestimate how much they hate Democrats anyway.

You're talking about a faction that handed the 2016 election to Trump by voting Libertarian (because they just wouldn't vote for "That Woman" ), and in 2020 went back to voting for the Republican candidate, Trump.

3. I hope you are right.

It would be nice to know what percentage of Repugnant voters would actually switch to vote Dem. I'm betting it's less than 10%.
