We told them before they went of the deep end with this fraud we would not vote for him. We told them the same thing with Mitt Romney. They have no excuse. They went ahead with him and the outcome is entirely their responsibility. They can have all the tantrums about it they want. History is what it is. their choices were what they were.
The Establishment GOP told us in various indirect and direct ways that they did not want us Principled Christian Conservatives in their party. They are embarrassed by us and our morality. They told us to sit down and shut up. Their leaders said we needed to be punched in the nose. They ran a Bush who said that he would win the nomination "without the base" of Principled Conservatives. They ran half a dozen more liberal establishment darlings to muddy the waters in an overcrowded field so an actual Conservative would never get a legit shot.
Along comes Lil' Benito who when his principles get questioned, says he doesn't want us Conservatives, doesn't need Conservatives to "win" - and then his sycophantic followers pile on and remind everyone who would not bend the knee that we were not welcome, they would win without us - and to get out from wherever it was we were conversing because Trump supporters needed their safe space.
So none of these numbers are surprising, and I think more than anything - the Oligarchy in DC is beyond ecstatic that Trump has successfully purged and rendered Reagan Conservatism, moot and irrelevant in the national party. They just did not want him to be the nominee because he is a wild animal they cannot control.
But he is and always was a Liberal Democrat.
So the Party Hacks and the Loyalists and the sycophants will threaten, insult and cajole to try and scare everyone into voting for another liberal running with an 'R' after his name because it will be said that he alone will save us from what is worse.
Nobody recognizes what a velvet coup looks like.
