What is obvious to you may not be obvious to Trump supporters. Trump gutting is not hard to do in the minds of those who despise him but remember how fickle public opinion changes from say one party convention to the next.
In the eyes of their core consistencies both Hillary and Trump can do no wrong and among other people some who believe they can do nothing right.
Trump is obviously cocaine to bigots and racist.
