9:33Now PlayingThere are enough Donald Trump supporters around to scare most reasonable people, but it turns out there may be even more than we thought. Many Trump supporters are too embarrassed to admit their choice candidate, and are lying to pollsters. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Donald Trump has been the runaway leader in the Republican race for several months. Indeed, Trump has led for so long that his popularity, depressing as it is, is no longer shocking. Well, it turns out the polls may be under-representing just how popular Trump is — and that’s truly eye-opening.
People love Trump, ironically enough, because they think he’s honest, authentic. “He speaks him mind,” you often hear from passionate Trumpites. That’s scary because, presumably, the people supporting Trump agree with what he says, even if Trump himself doesn’t believe it. Trump’s language is unapologetically nativist, and so his broad appeal says something unpleasant about our country. The amount of people cheering his message is a rough indication of how amenable to fascism and nativism his conservative supporters are."*
