For months I've been wondering how in blazes Trump got the nomination.  Now I understand. It's because millions of Americans have zero idea what is going on in this country.  They hear a sound bite and believe it, then continue to believe it when the evidence to the contrary is right in front of them.

Take, for example, this statement: "Lisa Murkowski has been part of the Republican establishment, refusing to work collaboratively with anything initiated by Democrats or our president."  

 Then consider news like this:
