Republican votes were (with party/against party/not voting):
212 / 16 / 6
225 / 2 / 7
210 / 19 / 5
225 / 3 / 6
55 / 0 / 1
Total: 927 / 40 / 25
Of 992 possible votes, 927 were cast with the party - 93.4%. If you assume the "not voting" were cases where they couldn't bring themselves to vote for it but didn't want to be on the record for breaking with the party, and give a half-vote for each of those it rises to 94.7%.
So Republicans have lined up behind Trump at easily more than a 90% rate, after the majority of them opposed him very strongly during the primary. The Democratic party is still badly fractured after the primary, yet you insist they would have fallen in line behind Hillary, and your evidence is that they followed Bill - one of the most popular presidents in modern history - two thirds of the time.
Do you think 67% > 93%, or do you think Democrats would have suddenly discovered party discipline had Hillary won?
