No, many people did not like Trump's personality but that isn't policy and many liked that he exposed this corruption. The establishment elitists couldn't have this upstart outsider in there they couldn't control. But they wish he wouldn't keep shooting himself in the foot. That is not "disingenuous." When it comes to politics all people normally have to hold their nose and vote for the lesser of evils because no political platform or person is perfect. Why would they think he's perfect? Independents, too, often share a lot of Republican values, so nothing wrong with saying you're not a Republican.
