When will the media get a grip and explain to the American people what is really happening? Could they please just explain precisely how Trump won the nomination. To be absolutely clear, his success had nothing to do “with the economy – stupid”. This assertion is all quantifiable, it is not an opinion. But today it has simply gotten much worse—quantifiably worse.
Only 16%? Well I had already proven (see bottom of this story, that 67% of GOP voters are some combination of sheer ignorance and bigotry, but the pied piper of bullshit and hate, Donald Trump, is successfully separating the gullible wheat from the hateful chaff. Trump has now created a whole new category of stupid—a sort of super duper category where only 16% of the 67% of GOP voters who were always going to vote for the most absurd nasty candidate (hence the final showdown between Trump and Ted Cruz), where only 16% of these voters have the foggiest notion of right vs. wrong, fact vs. falsehood, math vs. myth.
Apologies to Sam Cooke:
There were only sixteen, only sixteen
But we can see them just so
They are still too stuck to fall out of love
With America’s absurdist Foe
Why did they give their hearts so fast
Will it ever will happen again
But this rueful band of sixteen
their brains are shrinking in pain
Only 16% of Trump voters think that if Hillary Clinton wins the election, it will be because she got more votes than Trump. More specifically, 69% of Trump voters think that if Hillary Clinton wins the election it will be because it was rigged,

48% of Trump voters think that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton deserve the blame for Humayun Khan’s death too.
Only 11% of Trump have a positive opinion of the Khan family.
42% who disagree with the sentiment that Hillary is the Devil and 17% who aren’t sure one way or the other.
40% of Trump voters think that ACORN (which hasn’t existed in years) will steal the election for Clinton. That shows the long staying power of GOP conspiracy theories.
47% of his voters say they saw the video of Iran collecting 400 million dollars from the United States, even though Trump ended up admitting it didn’t exist.
The 67%
StupidParty Disciples. The 67% who are Mooching off our brains
