but because of where I live I know a lot of them. So many just didn't bother to really listen what Trump said. They got stuck on "Crooked Hillary" or "Benghazi or "e-mails". I asked one of them, "tell me about Benghazi" and she replied "It was bad." That was it. Totally, completely clueless! Most of the others I've asked were just as well informed. I think 8 years of things slowly getting better, UE down, access to health insurance (huge around here) gave them a false sense of security. They seemed to believe it didn't matter who they voted for because nothing would really change. Things would continue to get better. I know, I know how is that possible? Most, if not all, of them get the news from one channel, yep, you got it, Fox.
