These folks have shown themselves to be easily manipulated. They are not the savviest voters when it comes to the issues and current events. They are still a cult in Kentucky.

Still, the Republican vote split 51-41. So the cult went 5-4 to the Trump candidate. Maybe it could have been worse?

If the MAGA candidate is only losing 5-10% of the Republican vote, that could mean a lot in the general election.
