They are like an active coke fiend at the end of the blow. They have no stash...they have no cash...and SOMEBODY ELSE is to blame. The Mexicans took their jobs. The Muslims are laughing at us. Lather Rinse. Repeat.

I *promise*, and I am sure you know this as well as I do, they need to be TOLD. they don't want REASON. They don't want FACTS (they have a hard time with fact/opinion, and so the first one with a good, spiteful *zinger* wins). They don't want to have to think about it. They just want to be TOLD.

Seriously.

The answer is not to divide them from Trump. It's to tie them to him.
