I’ve seen that in the past. The republican voters, with the exception of swings which are fewer and fewer, are pretty much rigid in their voting for an R now. Most would never knowingly voted for a D these days. Especially some of the crop that was on the ballot and won.
They stay home and let the Democrat take out the RINO.
True, but with creeps like Romney and McCain and a Paul Ryan House of Reps, they either hold their nose to vote Republican, or stay home.
