Conservative media is powerful in its messaging. Listen to it enough and there's no other source you view as credible. Conservative media spends about 20-30% of the time daily bashing the media and telling listeners that the media has an agenda. So you trying to give actual facts to this man is seen as just from a "tainted" source w/ an agenda. Facts no longer matter and it will only get worse. I always wondered what a Rush presidency would look like since people used to call him and tell him he should run. Now I see it and thats why these people love Trump.
