Only half is pathetic.
I think Politico made up this story
Well, plenty of people voted for Hillary as well. Don’t believe they are all stupid; the 47% mentioned by Romney profited from the nanny-state promised by Dems.
Here in NJ they are explaining away ObamaCare increases (which were accurately projected to rise steeply years ago) on Trump’s recent adjustments to ObamaCare; some believe it because they are stupid, others will believe it because they hate Trump (read: They’ll repeat it as truth, but don’t believe it), and others know it is an outright lie.
