there is some percentage of them who will stay home on election day if they find a candidate's behavior or attitude objectionable, even if it helps a Dim in the election.

I just don't understand why you or ANYONE would vote for a candidate who did not support what they support?

I would never do that. You said you'd never do that. So why would anyone else do that?

So why would anyone else do that?

Because some voters do have one issue that is so important to them, they will not vote for anyone who disagrees with them on that issue. It's that critical a moral question to them.

Abortion is probably the best example, but there are others.

I think it is a pretty small percentage of conservatives, probably less than 5% on most critical issues, maybe a fair amount higher for abortion.
