Now, before you all get too bent out of shape, I’d like to point out that there’s some good news here: only 14 percent of Trump’s supporters want to invade Mexico. Not so bad, eh?

I’d also like to point out that a week ago I predicted that lots of Trump supporters would hear about the Bowling Green massacre but only a few would hear that it didn’t actually happen. Well, I was right. Belief in the BGM outscored disbelief 51-23 percent. And isn’t that what’s really important? That I was right?
