republican voters], could care less about a 'campaign funding violation' issue. [Neglecting to mention it was a 'felony campaign funding' issue].

Just saw Rachel who talked of the extraordinary, unprecedented trump disaster problem week.

[Oddly, both fox and Rachel may be accurate! . . . Having talked to a few trumpers in the last couple of weeks, its easy to see that they notice a few uncomfortable headlines, and with fox like news sources helpfully editing, easily turn their attention elsewhere. It doesn't seem to be 'delusion', more like careless indifference. On the other hand, Rachel is of course right. It was an unprecedented crazy week. . . . That is the seriously conflicted, strange world we live in, imo].
