75. ...and she graduated from a college!

That's what amazes me the most. I can understand some lush at the end of the bar down at the Hole In The Wall being seduced by Trump and his conspiracies, after all, he's been running the country just as they would. But when someone who lives in a $200k home and graduated from an esteemed university spouts the same nonsense it makes me wonder if I'm the crazy one.
