Great video. Would be even better if they included video of Donald Trump saying those things.

The video is funny. But, as usual for Trump critics, it wildly exaggerates or distorts certain things. [E.g., Trump is not for registering all Muslims in US. Just the ones who voted for Hillary :)].
Trouble is, Trump supporters are not as dumb as you may think. By and large, I don’t think they’re dumb at all. When Trumps’s positions are repeatedly mis-characterized, those supporters just tune out any criticism of him entirely. “Falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus.”
I posted a piece about all this on my blog. http://wp.me/p5Ep2A-49 . The piece was actually inspired by the comment thread to a post of IK last week.
If you want to effectively attack Trump, I’d advise to stick tenaciously to the truth. There’s plenty of material there to work with.
While I wouldn’t call Trump supporters dumb, I’m not sure I would call them smart either. Its not clear to me that they know why they support him and know his true positions on what matters most to them. If their support is mainly driven by fear of immigrants and muslims perhaps their support is understandable. The only other group likely to support him may be the ultra wealthy including the hedge fund industry.
