So this little parade of idiots doesn't mean much. You want to talk voting percentages? Of the nation and not just primary voting republicans? Or does a foolish outlier here and there enough for you?
I remember watching a documentary once about a Jewish member of the SS who hid his background and was really ashamed of it. Some of his colleagues knew and kept quiet. I don't find that particularly surprising.
Just look at the Conservatives in the UK. They get voted in on promises that they will cut everything to the bone and people still support them hoping that it will be other people who suffer the financial hardship. It really is not unusual for people to vote against their own self interest because they are in denial and cherry pick the message.
