A Guide to the Republican Herd, 共和党
A Divided Pack of Elephants NOV. 5, 2016
The Republican electorate has fractured（分裂する） over the policy views and personal history of Donald J. Trump.

左（←）はトランプ嫌い、右（→）はトランプ好きか、トランプをabide（甘受）できる
Here are rough tribal maps of G.O.P. voter groups, based on ideas from a variety of political consultants and pollsters. （略） Elephants, or blocs, are scaled to approximate both voter strength and their levels of animation — or agitation — this year. Almost all Republican voters depicted（描く） here will choose Trump. How many defectors will sit it out or (gasp（喘ぐ）) vote for Hillary Clinton? We’ll know Tuesday night. Probably.
