7. It depends.
I think that group is actually made up of a couple of different groups -- those religious ones who think he is "God's Chosen" and thus perfect, the religious ones who think he is "God's Chosen" but a flawed man and we must put up with his flaws because his is "Chosen", the greedy ones at the top who know this guy will support corporate interests and their money over every other concern, those who don't have as much but who think one day they will be one of the "have mores", and those who are still fooled by his "tough guy" act.

Each group, I think, can be penetrated, except for perhaps the actual "have mores". However, I think the real problem is that people hate to admit they were wrong or have been fooled by someone. It's easier to just go along with the opinions you've always had. Trying to change is a hard thing for some people. Some of these people just don't have the time to get the information they need to change their minds. Also, some of these people, from each group, actually want things to keep going the way they are. Those are the ones that I think can't be reached.
