Trumpers Ignorance: This says it all!

From an Alternet: An article depicting the rising skepticism of Trump supporter’s in Red States..

This one paragraph from a Tire Store Owner.. Says it all.

Snip:

"Rick Munholland, 64, is just as hopeful. As the tire shop owner tells it, his continued support for Trump is rooted in his anxiety about a proliferation of undocumented immigrants and a hefty monthly health insurance premium, which he wants to see cut.

“Working people like me can’t afford it. Now, if you’re low-income, they can get it for nothing — but the low-income gets taken care of regardless,” he says. “God bless America, but it has gone to the dogs.”

I wonder how "many undocumented immigrants work for this guy” ? Just saying.

They STILL think Trump will lower their health insurance costs. I guess if you can't afford it anymore, then your costs are lowered by default though.

There's also hate for the poor, and hate for immigrants.

that the only way to get cheaper insurance is universal healthcare like every other industrialized country

But the guy must've believed, "Far cheaper, way better coverage, way better, believe me."
