Honestly, how the hell does this man keep his mob hypnotized for so long? Is it the illusion of being in the majority?

Part of it is the illusion of being in the majority.
Look at the reaction when they are shown polls of him losing handily to Clinton.
Another is he’s a good salesman. He started out saying things many of us wanted to hear. After a while, a few of us starting looking at him objectively and said, “no thanks.” Some,sadly, have not. So they ignore all the warning signs and just focused on the things he said they wanted to hear.
For example, those that don’t support him, be they for Cruz or someone else, do accept the fact that the candidate they chose could lose to Clinton. Trump supporters believe no such thing. They believe a silent majority is out there that’s angry and loves Trump and can’t wait to vote for him. They’re right about the former. Wrong about the latter
He plays to their core needs. Think about Mazlo's theory of needs. Trump talks in the very base of the pyramid. He says what they want to hear in their core needs.... and they are so wanting it to be true that they just believe it. That combined with the fact he has been an exceptional liar his entire life. An exceptional con man.
In the old days he would be the guy pulling up who sells Dr. Oz's Medicine. One drink a day will cure warts, gout, arthritis, rumatizm, your aching back, and your near nearsightedness. And the freepers here (along with the rest of the idiots that support him) can't wait to throw their money down on the counter.
