aren't there just for the spectacle and have no intention of voting for him. It's something I might have done in my crazed youth: "Hey, let's do a few bong hits and go to that Trump rally! I hear he's a real trip!" It would be like going to an infamously bad movie just for the laughs (I've done that) or watching Mystery Science Theater 3000. I recall a time in the early '70s when about six of us got colossally stoned, crammed into my boyfriend's ancient Volvo and went to the seediest porno theater in town to see "Deep Throat." We were hysterical through the whole thing. Maybe it's like that.
