I do not believe that the Trump supporters are dumb.
I believe they went to the Tea Party for help a few years ago, where the, and please excuse the adjectives, nut jobs like Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin lived.
Once they were there, and seeing no advances or improvement in Washington that they liked, it was a simple step to go the VERY FAR RIGHT WING extremists, like Barron and his ilk.
Aided by Fox news, who really used to be my go to for news but oh my have they changes, but aided by Fox news and nut jobs like Hannity, etall. they received assurance about how right they are. No pun intended.
When the Republican party lost their sense of direction and allowed Trump to get the nomination, and to be honest he got it ONLY because of these people, it became us versus them.
Them in this case was an easy target....Hillary Clinton...much despised, heavily investigated and a banner for the far right movement.
Had anyone other than Clinton been nominated, Trump would have not run or dropped out....she is the single only person he can possibly beat.
Had Trump not been allowed to get the nomination, This would be no contest.....Clinton would be total toast.
Point is they are being conned by one of the best....Trump.
Funny thing is that their "movement" or whatever will bite them in the a$$.
Trump cannot in a million years even get close to fulfilling his false promises, so if elected and hated so much....the Democrats will own every house of Government for years and years, much to the chagrin of these same folks.
If he loses, the Republican party is and will be in such a disarray because of him, same results....all good for the Democratic party.
No, they are not dumb, but they are the brunt of a serious con job and problem is they refuse to listen to anybody except their demigod, who can only do a stand up routine shouting about Clinton on Benghazi and emails. ALL OF THOSE seriously investigated for years. He offers nothing of promise, only the hate message.
To Trump followers.....win or lose, you will lose eventually now to the Democratic party.
If somehow you do not feel you are being conned, just remember what he has says....ho hum...if not elected I will still be rich.
Listen to the quotes from folks who know him well....business associates, biographer, etc. They know this is all about him.
On the serious side of that, we do not know how much is about Russia, iran, Turkey and his interests in those countries and obviously he has committed to being the most close candidate in over 40 years. If this is about those interests and he wins, we got some big problems.
But as I said, those followers are not dumb....just in a trance put on by one of the best....have you ever watched those Trump Univ commercials...he is good.
