Of those, only 50-55 actually vote (about 120-125 million). Less than 1/2 of those actually voting, voted for Trump - that would be around 62 million.<br /><br />1/2 of 62 million, the "deporables," is 31 million - that's less than 1/10 the total population (31/320).<br /><br />If you don't think that 10% of Americans would be considered pretty deplorable, you need to get outside some more.<br /><br />Is there some pattern here of referencing people that can't do basic math?
