Trump’s proposals grow more and more outlandish with each passing week, his claims seem more and more uneducated, and his complete disregard for facts grows more tiring. But many across the country are eating it up and to be fair, the alternatives aren’t much more promising right now.

While many of Trump’s critics have yet to find anything redeeming about Trump’s candidacy, popular late night TV host Stephen Colbert says there actually is one good thing about Trump.
