This block of voters, the actual deplorables, now make up around 30 to 35 percent of the base.

Maybe more.

Donald didn't just NOW reveal himself (or was revealed to be) the asshole he really is, his supporters knew what they were getting when that voted for him over and over in the primaries.

If they cut them off, the republicans become a regional (south, some midwest, inter-mountain west) party which can NEVER hope to hold onto any branch of the federal government ever again.
