Trump's voters believed his "promises." They think he's going to build a wall between the U.S., that he will appoint a special prosecutor to jail Clinton, that he's going to deport millions of illegal immigrants, that he won't touch Medicaid or Social Security, that he's going to "bring back jobs," that his tax cuts will help the working class.

So what do we know so far?

No wall

No special prosecutor

No mass deportations

Paul Ryan is coming for your Medicaid and Social Security

He's only saved companies that weren't going to Mexico anyway

47% of Ryan's tax cuts go to the 1% immediately, with the majority phased over 10 years, and working class / poor families might actually pay higher taxes

So trust me...the kind of stupid that would lead a person to believe Trump's campaign "promises" can't be strangled out of them. It runs too deep. And what's about to happen to them is far worse than anything you could wish for them, and it will come at the hands of their savior.
