Right-wing radio? What do they ever do? They spent the 2012 cycle deluding the gullible rabble that listens to them that it was going to be "Romney in a landslide!". Remember that?
And that rabble is bellying right back up to the bar of misinformation that left them dumbfounded when reality smacked them upside the head on Election Day 2012.
It's time to admit it. The sheep who listen to Limbaugh, who watch Hannity, who read Glenn Beck? They all want to be lied to. They want to be told happy little bedtime stories that shelter them from reality. That's the 'secret' of the Trump success in winning the Republican nomination. He's the perfect fit for people who not only don't mind being told obviously-false nonsense, they openly crave it. They beg to be conned, duped, manipulated, defrauded.
And they're getting it!

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is a textbook case of psychological projection.
