Re: If never trumpers voted for trump...
What if Donald Trump didn't come across as such a blowhard jerk, would NeverTrumpers have voted for him?

No. My issues weren't with his temperament as much as they were with the fact that he has no track record of being a consistent conservative. Even during the campaign, several issues were constantly changing. His praise of dictators and tyrants, along with his talk of wanting to restrict free speech would have been a negative even if spoken in a respectful tone.

I gauged his temperament to be why he was inconsistent. IOW, the issues and his temperament went hand in hand, IMO.
But, I agree with your point in the above post, some "NeverTrumpers" ended up voting for him. So, in regard to the silent voters, that turned out to be true. My husband ended up changing his mind in the booth, even though I did not.

I had concerns about conservative issues with DT. But Hillary "trumped" all of those concerns bc I didn't have a shred of doubt what she would do as president. Obviously looking at what DT has done thus far, nominating people with strong conservative credentials, shows the wisdom of supporting Trump for president. Do you think for a minute HRC would be nominating conservatives? With Hillary zero chance of conservatives in the Cabinet. With Trump there was a chance. That thinking is now being validated.

It's hard to view Trump as anything other than an arrogant, self-serving person. Too hard to poll this one.

Doubtful. From what Trump and his supporters claimed, #NeverTrump was a very small amount of voters. Negligible, with no real effect on the election.
