Plurality is not majority though, right?
Hence my use of the word "plurality". But, look, I know you need to feel better about a quarter of the GOP siding with Trump and try to throw a hundred caveats about why it doesn't matter or doesn't count. Right though, polling indicates that out of every four GOP voters, at least one is saying "You know what? I really like what the Trump guy is saying".

When polls involve only voters with a past history of voting as republicans in the primaries, his numbers plummet
So what? Obama turned out unprecedented numbers of first time voters to the polls during the primaries and general election. Those people were really Republicans in disguise or something?

If he were running as a Democrat right now, with the exact same platform, he'd probably have a plurality there too
Oh, and if he were a gorilla, he'd have 95% of the monkey vote! And if he were a Whig, he'd be cleaning up the 19th century zombie vote! I mean, as long as we're just making up scenarios and numbers as a fantasy game and all.
Edit: I do love, though, how Gbaji's response to anything about Republican racism is "NO! Democrats did it!!". Which comes to a head here with saying that the guy who will make Mexico pay for a giant wall to keep its rapists and murdering population out and we'll round up the Muslims and track them (when not keeping them out) is really a big liberal only pretending to be a conservative and Democrats would be voting for him if only he was running on their side. It's like there's no other mechanism in Gbaji's brain beyond "Blame Democrats".
