"I think a lot of people underestimate how loyal my supporters are." -Trump

Wrong. Most intelligent people are well aware of how Trump supporters cheer when he makes racist comments. We're also aware that Trump fanatics love it when he spews his bigoted rhetoric.

Why would anybody be surprised when Trump's supporters defend him bragging about sexually assaulting women? Of course they'll continue to support him, because his followers share his ugly outlook.

Trumpeters are not the brightest stars in the sky, not even close, but they are ugly fringe that the GOP has pandered to for years, and now the Grand Old Party reaps what it has sown.
