If it was such a big thing on the Dem side, then wouldn't Harris or Booker be polling higher with black voters? Castro with hispanic voters?
Repukes on the other hand seem to go for the biggest asshole. Case in point, 2016 primaries where the three biggest assholes got the most votes.
So are we to assume that repukes identify with assholes, because all repukes are assholes?
