Fact-Checking Trump; Why Bother?

Another group published a fact-checking report against Donald Trump’s claims – and, as with all the previous checks, the results were abysmal.  

I don’t know why organizations even bother to publish these reports.  Seriously, try to imagine somebody who has ridden the Trump Train up to this point, looking at the results and deciding, “Hell, I can’t support this guy any longer; he’s just making all this shit up!”

No, these people are not (to borrow from Steven Colbert) ‘Factistas’.  Trump’s biggest supporters think, and vote, from the gut.  Highlighting the distance between their hero’s claims and reality makes them really angry; not at Trump, but at reality – further straining an already cold, distant, dysfunctional relationship.
