Trump has managed to find a base so stupid that he can say and do anything and they’ll keep right on supporting him.
If you think 1 person has cornered the market on stupid, talk to Bernie Sanders, ask him how he feels about being cheated by his own people.
😉 (a wink in jest)
Joking or not, it’s not a valid comparison. Sanders “base” were not thrilled when he was doing things like endorsing Hillary. Trump’s base would just keep cheering him no matter what.
