How much of Trump's "base" have watched the senate trial on TV ...

… in whole or in part?

My guess would be less than 5% – and probably far less.

Complex legal arguments, the presentation of timelines, clips of testimony from career professionals using multi-syllabic words – it’s all waaaay over their heads.

FOX-News told them not to watch because it was ‘boring’ – and they’re right. It would of course be boring to people who don’t have the intellectual capacity to follow along. For the average Trump-humper, it would be no different than watching a hearing about quantum physics conducted in Swahili.

I listen in to talk radio. It provides an insight into their strange world, frankly it's both hilarious and dizzying. What we are hearing from his as seen on TV defense team is very familiar to talk radio listeners ("dashboard believers&quot . They have heard all this multiple times.

I do have to say that the backbreaking twist of logic and impeachment fantasy the one guy did yesterday about Obama's hot mic with Medvedev was a new one. WOW.

They aren't watching. They'll be told what happened each day by their trusty handlers in the media.....just like every other day.
