The late Senator from New York, Daniel Patrick Moynihan once commented that Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.
The Senator was right but unfortunately "facts are stubborn things" as the below video links attest. Trump supporters, echoing the trend outlined in Thomas Frank's work What is the Matter with Kansas?, routinely support candidates and vote in elections that are contrary to their personal and the public interest. The Trump Budget does not really help the significant Rust Belt blue collar populace that helped swing the Electoral College to Trump last November. Nor does the Senate Health Care Bill which did not do away with the meanness of the House Bill and also lacks heart as 22,000,000 people may lose health insurance if the bill passes.
Hopefully, Trump supporters will get behind the bandwagon and urge the powers that be to drop the health care bills under consideration.
