There’s something important to note: ignorance and intelligence are two different things. We’re not calling Donald Trump’s supporters stupid. They are, however, ignorant of the reality of the man and naive about what he’s selling versus what he’s actually going to do if he were to get into the White House.
Nobody doubts his ability to sell. He sells television ratings; even he calls himself the “Ratings King.” He sells ideas; a business man doesn’t achieve the heights he’s achieved without being able to sell concepts that would be appealing to the average listener. He sells the deal; that’s his greatest strength in business and proving to be his greatest strength in politics.
Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke recognizes this. That’s one of the things that he finds most appealing about Trump as he reiterated over and over again last week on his radio show.

Being the “best in the lot” would normally be considered a great thing to hear from a radio host and two-time Presidential candidate, but it’s definitely not the type of endorsement that Trump would want publicized. The reason is because he’s a smart man who knows that the most likely people he can sell his dreams to would be the ignorant (not stupid) Republicans who become enamored easily by his straight-talking style.

Donald Trump is a salesman through and through. He knows how to analyze a situation and create support from the people he’s trying to whom he’s trying to sell. Again, it’s his greatest strength. He’s selling America his own brand of politics and many are buying into it, not because of the merits of the plans but because of the way he’s able to sell it to them.

It’s been said twice and it should be said again. Being a Donald Trump supporter does not make someone stupid. In fact, ignorant probably isn’t even the right word. Trumps supporters are gullible. They’ve fallen for the sales pitch of a master salesperson and they think that it will equate to change in America. The reality is this: the disappointment that many of President Obama’s supporters are feeling today is small compared to the regret that Trump’s supporters will feel if he’s elected.
To all my evangelical friends supporting #Trump … Maybe we shouldnt support the same person as David Duke. #WWJD https://t.co/On6GUzzUTX
