“President Trump’s erratic handling of the coronavirus outbreak, the worsening economy and a cascade of ominous public and private polling have Republicans increasingly nervous that they are at risk of losing the presidency and the Senate if Mr. Trump does not put the nation on a radically improved course.”

They should be nervous. [/quote]

“Earlier this month, the Senate Republican campaign arm circulated a memo with shocking advice to GOP candidates on responding to coronavirus: “Don’t defend Trump, other than the China Travel Ban — attack China.”

The Trump campaign was furious.”

Most republicans never liked Trump, just using him for their own agenda. Only Trump is stupid to think they like him and want to defend him.

I truly don’t understand why he has a 95% approval rating in his party though.[/quote]

Because conservatives have fewer "must have" issues that they need supported to support the candidate.  There are a lot of people who vote solely based on 2A rights and for them there is no other more pressing issue.  Same for pro-life.  Same for pro-business.  There are some who support a few issues that align with the party.  And many of them are absolutists.  Once they are behind a candidate that supports their issue, they are 100% for that candidate and support that candidate.

Liberals tend to be much more inclusive and have a bigger list of "must haves".  They want someone who supports a wide variety of issues from social welfare to minority rights to women's rights, pro-choice, and so on.  And it's harder to find a candidate who supports the same broad range of issues as each voter.   And liberals are very judgmental about someone who only supports some of their issues, but not all of their issues.

Trump only has to support a few key issues and he'll get that strong 95% rating among his core.  Biden has to support all of the issues that his core wants or they waiver in their support for him.[/quote]
