Maddow is talking about the new PPP of attitudes about Trump [View all]

And it's stunning the way his supporters have basically an opposite view of every issue than any other subset.
59% feel he should not release his taxes, while it's like 70-80% of all other voters who think he must.

2/3 of them think we should NOT count Californias votes!?!? What the hell?

Every friggen issue, they just parrot what ever he has said by huge margins. And when you look at the whole country, it's the opposite.
