Do Trumpettes Ever Follow Up?

How do you educate people who just don't keep up? I'm looking at you, North Carolina Trump voters, according to the latest Public Policy Polling for your state.
Because of the direction [the majority of North Carolinians] prefer for the country it seems much more likely that they'll end up voting Clinton than Trump - or perhaps more likely than anything else staying home.

[...]

- 69% of Trump voters think that if Hillary Clinton wins the election it will be because it was rigged, to only 16% who think it would be because she got more vote than Trump. More specifically 40% of Trump voters think that ACORN (which hasn't existed in years) will steal the election for Clinton. That shows the long staying power of GOP conspiracy theories.

- 48% of Trump voters think that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton deserve the blame for Humayun Khan's death to 16% who absolve them and 36% who aren't sure one way or the other (Obama was in the Illinois Legislature when it happened.)

[...]

- Even though Trump ended up admitting it didn't exist 47% of his voters say they saw the video of Iran collecting 400 million dollars from the United States to only 46% who say they didn't see the video. [...] even 25% of Clinton voters claim to have seen the nonexistent video.

  Public Policy Voting
The power of suggestion is strong in these folks.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
