Trump is a different creature than we have ever seen in campaigns & politics along with those hardcore followers of his. She is right, there is a segment of the population that accepts & loves all of the hateful, racist & unbelievable lies that he spews out daily & so she is correct in what she says. Also, like you said, doesn't matter what he does or says along with what she does or says, they would never vote for her anyway. Of course, she really should just let the trumpsters hate minorities & be racists in peace without having to comment on it.
