1. It’s not just about % of potential voters. It’s about turnout. Turnout depends on a motivated base. In the GOP, that motivated base tends to be in the social conservative / anti abortion/ pro 2nd amendment groups. They are the ones on the ground doing the turnout work. The squishy middle is just that- squishy. They tend to be followers, not doers.
2. Polls show that the majority of americans hold conservative values. The problem is when the GOP loses it’s way and becomes DNC lite. The line gets blurred and voters can either stay home or the swing voters can be swayed by conservative talk from democrats or caught up in a “throw the bums out” movement.
