His take was that they know about the lies, but ignore them and only respond to the dog whistles or talking points that they want to hear. To me, it's just like a religious huckster; some people just want to be in a crowd that believes. Example- the chump at one of his rallies in '16, "I've got the words...", crowd gets excited, "I've got the BEST words!", and the crowd goes nuts. 
It never fails to make me smile that the longest word in the comment was ‘words.’

Regarding the 'debate' last night...I wasn't listening very closely, but someone involved said that Trump kept missing things like this and they may as well start calling him Donald Duck.

Yeah, that was Christie, who Trump is abjectly terrified of. And he want far wrong:

I didn't catch who it was. I caught a bit of the story when I was on my way over to the office this morning for my weekly paperwork/checks pickup.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene embarrasses herself on the international stage as she attacks the British government, declares that it is “going to start World War III.”
It all started when the British government announced yesterday that it plans to start providing training to Ukrainian troops to help them defeat Russia’s deadly invasion.
Today, Taylor Greene responded in Trumper fashion, taking Russia’s side and declaring that the British government is “going to start WWIII” by helping Ukraine protect its vulnerable population from Russia’s attack.
But Taylor Greene wasn’t done there, declaring that America “must not participate” in helping Ukraine defend itself.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
