Republican, in spite of all the betrayals by that party, because Trump enables them to rebel angrily while still remaining in the fold and voting the right side of the ballot.

They have the entire rest of the ballot in common with all the normally conformable conservatives who reject Trump but can't vote Democrat. Tap, tap, tap, punch, punch, punch, punch.

This election is once again continuing the decades-long migration of some moderate economic/usually somewhat socially liberal conservatives to the Democratic Party. Our other best chance from the right, though, lies in the conformables becoming so disillusioned with and estranged from what the party has become that a fair number of them just stay home on election day.
