Trump says stupid shit that his crazy base "wants" to believe, so no matter how much proof is shown that what he says isn't true, they just make excuses and blame liberal media. It's just like Trump clearly making fun of that handicapped reporter on video then coming out the very next day and claiming he didn't. His supporters will deny he ever did a thing wrong and will convince themselves he dindu nuttins..

The problem is we believe what we believe in.
Someone who believes in Trump doesn't seem him mocking a disabled reporter. Someone who support Hillary doesn't see where she did anything wrong with her emails.
I don't belong to either party (although I've been slanting towards Democratic these days). The past two Presidential elections I had Republican friends telling me their side was going to win up until the very end. I found this odd and comical; I thought it was pretty obvious Obama was going to win. The long term polls for both elections point towards a Democratic victory. (
Here is a example.) We are seeing something similar now where if you compare Trump to Hilary, Hilary wins - by a large margin. Yes, the margin will go up and down over the next year, but we can already see an obvious trend.
Take a look at the recent polls:
RealClearPolitics - 2016 Election 2016 Presidential Polls. Look at results for Monday, December 7th (yesterday) - It shows the Democrats winning in every scenario, and usually by a large margin. Trump VS Clinton, Clinton winning with a 11% margin? Granted, it's Telemundo, which means Hispanic, so take that with a grain of salt, but nearly every poll has the same result with Clinton winning.
Trump's biggest issue is he is saying what the Republican base wants to hear (Deport the Hispanics! Deport the Muslims!) but when it comes to the real election, the Republican base isn't what is going to decide the election - and what he is saying now will crush him come election time.
