Not everybody. I’ve never been fooled by the Con Man in Chief.

I want to be clear. I don’t believe that every Trump supporter has been fooled. I think in most cases, supporting him was a conscious, some have claimed “rational”, decision.

@Johnny_Ace

I’ve wanted to ask those single-issue voters this question now that we have the advantage of hindsight: Was the chance that Hillary might have displeased you on your one issue worth the multitude of ways that Trump is an embarrassment to the country and a literal danger to your way of life?

I don’t think we have enough hard data, yet. But yes, this is a question I’d love to have answered.

As far as his emergence, you may as well blame the lineup of Republican candidates none of whom could counter his BS. (I’m sure Jeb thought he was a shoo-in for the nomination until Trump ripped him a new one.) Or Faux News for perfectly positioning and fostering his candidacy in the minds of the delusionals. Or the media as a whole for gifting him with over a billion dollars in free publicity. Or normalizing and legitimizing his views by treating them as if they were anything but the ravings of a misanthropist power junkie.

Let’s not forget that Republican voters also had a choice in the primary. They too share some responsibility for the outcome.

Bill Maher interviewed Jake Tapper last night on Real Time and he spoke to that last issue among others. It’s probably on Youtube by now; check it out.

I definitely will.

More coffee?..

When World War 3 starts, it will probably be over an autocorrect mistake.
