[Senator Clay Davis]

Half of Trump voters is 20% of the country, as polling has consistently shown Trump between 36-40% popular support. So statistically speaking suggesting 20% hold at least one view of hatred is probably underselling it (Islamophobia alone has to be over 30%). Now that doesn't change that it was a stupid comment because it has limited upside and strong downside, but the comment itself isn't offensive or wrong at all. I would say the best comparable hear is Obama with the "clinging to their guns and religion" comment. I actually never thought Romney's 47% thing had much impact, I thought binders full of women sunk him much worse.
