      Truthfully? I’d bet an uncomfortable percentage of all people fall for common email scams all the time. But trumps base doesn’t represent 50% of the country. More accurately, 33% of Americans fall for it, 33% push against it, and 33% don’t think it’s a big enough problem to mail in a form letter once every 4 years.

      Its actually around 20-25%% if you account for the popular vote (which was not close) and people who did not vote, despite being eligible.
