If Republicans get 5% of the vote, and Trump underperforms them by 20%, how many Votes did Trump get?

The data point we are refering to indicates that 5% (X) of republican straight party voters voted for Trump, while 25% of single candidate voters voted for trump. 5-25 =-20 giving (X=5,Y=-20)

Incorrect. that math is x - individual votes, not individual votes - x. If 25% of single candidate voters voted for trump, that would be a +20, not a -20.
