    I'm guilty of projection: I assumed the GOP primary electorate cared as much about conservative philosophy--& character of nominee--as I do.

        .@mattklewis - Most people (even on the Right) don't give a crap about conservative purity. They care about family, jobs, happiness, et al.

        @mattklewis @JeffMcIrish I assumed they would objectively examine claims made by politicians & media to determine if logical or truthful.

        @mattklewis I think you're spot on here. Trump supporters seem to be Republicans who are ok with government playing a bigger role

        It seems that portion of the GOP aren't really that afraid of a tyrant, as long as they helped elect him. @mattklewis @benshapiro

        @mattklewis @laurakfillault Or at least that a sufficient number of them cared enough to reject someone so ostentatiously unfit as Trump.

        @mattklewis @SfaLumberjack21 Turns out I overestimated the intelligence of voters...and after Obama, I already had very low expectations.
