Donald Trump should not have more than 16% of the vote

I come to that 16% number because that's the combined total of American adults who believe the earth is flat (2%), one time thought the world is round but now skeptical (5%), always thought the world is flat but now skeptical (2%), Don't know or unsure (7%). That's Trump's base. The other 84% should be with us.

The polls don't show that because people don't admit to it to pollsters.

That's the percentage of people in this country who are filled with hate and racism. You have to come to terms with it. We live in a sea of filth.
