It's like the IRL version of claiming support from lurkers.

> They would support any republican candidate

Republican Party identification is pretty constant at 25-30%, below both Democratic and Independent.

For “most” do you mean in terms of population count?

For “people” do you mean registered voters ?

Republicans would win every election if that was the case

Big citation needed on who of non-voters support Trump. Most opinion polls that include anyone (not just registered voters) still have Trump's approval at 40ish percent the past 4 years.

If you say all polling is invalid/not representative, where are you getting your numbers from?

And again, what makes this overwhelming?
