    People who would identify themselves as “Trump Supporters” are, at this point, unlikely to be swayed by anything. There are no lies he can get caught in, no facts that can come to light, no scandals he could be center of, that would serve to shake their convictions by now. It is not reality that has convinced them into their position, and so reality cannot convince them out of it. The only rational course is to stop caring about what “Trump Supporters” actually think about trump, and focus out attention on anyone who is somehow even remotely undecided.
