Waiting on the ‘Maybe Trumpers’

Washington Post: “Whit Ayres, a Republican pollster, says the party’s electorate can be divided into three key buckets. A small group, roughly 10 percent, are ‘Never Trumpers,’ Republicans who have long and vocally opposed Trump. A far larger group, about 40 percent, are ‘Always Trumpers,’ his hardcore base that will never abandon him.”

“The remaining 50 percent or so, Ayres said, are ‘Maybe Tumpers’ — Republicans who voted for him twice, who generally like his policies but who are now eager to escape the chaos that accompanies him.”

Said Ayres: “So they are open to supporting someone else who will do much of what they want without all of the baggage. So then the question becomes: Who?”
