You guys need to quit deluding yourself that there is some magical silent majority out there that secretly adores Trump. It doesn't exist. That's maybe 25% of the electorate, max.

"Secretly adores"?

You set up a hyperbolic straw man fallacy and then knock it down.

Use whatever phrase you want. There isn't any more than perhaps 25% of the electorate that would consider themselves hardcore Trump supporters. To the extent you think there is a secret, silent majority out there that dies, you are deluding yourself.

More than 80% of Americans live in what are defined as urban areas, which includes suburbs. Less than 18% are rural, which is where Trump's support clearly is strongest.

“You set up a hyperbolic straw man fallacy and then knock it down.”

But his point is valid; many, if not most, here are holding on to the belief that the majority of US voters are just raring to give Trump another chance.

“Do you believe that or no”? Would be the question to ask re: belief in a silent Trump voter majority, though.
