I sometimes read "the dispatch" for free, just for David French's writings. I read comments there because I am curious what their readers think. They are supposedly sane republicans, right?

I tell ya. The majority of the comments can be categorized in these two.

1. The republican candidates are batshit crazy, but the democrats are destroying this country, so I have to vote for the republicans.

2. Both sides are equally batshit crazy and bad, so....

2-1. The democrats are also responsible for Trump being elected to POTUS. (My head exploding!)

If this is any indication, the majority of the right still think whoever has "R" next to the name is better than any democrat. So what i am trying to say is that whichever way you look at it, GOP has a voter problem!

I subscribed to the Dispatch for a while. I’d say there are quite a few Democrats too, and a decent number of “I was once Republican but never again” types. But yeah, quite a few anti-antis too

Huh, I didn't notice any of those in the comments, though the principles have talked about or referenced some of them
