As profoundly disturbing as Donald Trump is, we are far and away more troubled by the legion of those who support him.
We've seen their posts to Facebook and their Tweets. We've received their email chains and heard their defense of Donald Trump’s horrifying lies, racist, sexist, and culturally and religiously intolerant claims at social gatherings. Enough.

We understand from a Washington Post/ABC News poll that the majority of Trump's Republican supporters are white, less educated and working class. It’s easy to see a correlation between this poll and a report released last month by two Princeton economists which found that less educated, working class, middle-aged whites were dying at higher rates due to alcoholism, suicide and drug overdoses. Ennui and hopelessness are blamed. Since the Great Recession hit and income inequality exploded, this group has found itself more and more on the margins of society with their collective voice silenced. They’ve lost their jobs, their pensions, their homes. They've lost hope. And Trump has given voice to their rage through hate speechs – and if he becomes president, hateful actions.

Well it’s to play on their emotions to make them think they’re low info voters...which is one of their plays....those who understand the plays in politics will spot this...those who don’t will lash back emotionally or ‘feel’ exactly as they want the to feel.
Since Trump entered this race all the experts have been 100% wrong about Trump.
As Rush said this week the media has lost the moral authority and the credibility with their readers to have worthwhile opinions.
they have no idea what Trump is about. If they did they would be running for president and winning.
While I’ll admit to ‘enjoying some of the sauce’ once in while (perhaps a bit more, LOL), I certainly don’t consider my income level to be lower or middle class, and the last time I checked my college degrees were in good standing.
...so there, MSM.
That is correct! The Trump supporters are articulate! It is the blatant lies and name calling of the leftists trolls that is disturbing.
