The devotion of some of Trump's supporters can be mind-boggling. When I ask them how they can trust Trump on immigration today when 4 years ago he thought that even Mitt Romney (!!!) was too conservative on the issue, the more polite Trump supporters just ignore the question and pretend it never happened, the less polite ones go into hysterics and paroxysms of hatred.
I think that the explanation is that after years of disappointing Republican candidates, people are convinced some Great White Hope will come along and change all of that. It's a case of grasping at straws out of desperation, thinking that this time it's "the one" and that their knight in shining armor has really arrived.
Yep, and like kabar and some others, they lie and intentionally misrepresent and give false choices, because that's what low IQ people with no intellectual argument must resort to. I would also add, vis a vis Mitt....that with Trumps comments on universal health care over the years...he is in WORSE SHAPE than Mitt is on Obama Care....because at least Mitt never advocated for a national universal system.....but the loonies won't address that. The polite ones, who say yeah I know about his weaknesses but support him anyway...are fine. At least they're honest.
