Quote of the Day: Trump Supporters and Willful Ignorance

For any voter, there is a certain amount of ignorance necessary to stand behind their candidate. Anyone who supports Hillary will force themselves to ignore her many scandals — Benghazi, the e-mail servers, just to name a few. Rubio supporters will find a way to overlook the Gang of Eight. Cruz supporters will close their eyes to the accusations of dirty campaigning. This is natural, and it’s to be expected during election season to a certain extent. However, most voters still do some amount of research. They may overlook their chosen one’s scandals, but they’re still aware of them. They aren’t completely, and willfully, ignorant. The only exception is Trump supporters. Never before has there been a group of people so willing to close their eyes to everything about their candidate. Combine that with anger, and you have a combination that threatens to burn the entire country down. Donald Trump is aware of this, and he’s playing these people like fiddles. David Catron at the American Spectator wrote a brilliant column about this phenomenon.
