The BSM just don’t believe what they see with their own eyes because “nobody they know supports Trump.”
They are all too young to remember, “How did this happen, everyone I know voted for Stevenson.”. And they are too stupid to have actually learned anything worth knowing while wasting daddy’s money getting what the thought was an education to even know who Stevenson was.
Pauline Kael in 1972 famously opined in the New Yorker, “nobody I know voted for Nixon.”
Elites don’t know any one in their tight circle voting for Trump.
BTW, Stevenson lost twice to Ike.
