Sounds like his "very best" voters are so uneducated they couldn't figure out how to change their party affiliation.

This is a big problem for Trump, come election day the traditional conservative base is just going to stay home.

actually sounds like the author's very desperate attempt to esplain' all of the democrat voters favoring racist, sexist, bigot Trump....the idea that there might be all of these folks that identify as republican but register as democrats so they can vote for Trump, or maybe vote against the criminal and the commie doesn't really make much sense...pretty laughable

the "traditional conservative base" just lived through 8 years of Obama....you can guarantee they will not be sitting out on election day...even if Trump is the nominee

The author refers to them as self described Republicans. Perhaps they really are racist, sexist bigots who are self describing as Republicans because they don't think that behavior is compatible with the Democratic party.
