Trump's approval among Republicans amounts to 22% of Americans.

1. There are certainly many hurdles in our way. As you point out, there's...

...tyranny of the minority and the electoral college. And gerrymandering, which is easier for Republicans to utilize to their benefit (due to Democrats being concentrated). And voter suppression.

But I will point out what I pointed out in another thread on this same topic, Trump's approval rating is still 40%. Let's remember that the vast majority of so-called "independents" are very partisan. They are not swing voters. They are partisans who just like calling themselves "independent," and many of them are Republicans.

Of course, I also want to point out that the largest single bloc in the US are the disengaged, many of whom probably don't even know this is an election year.
