I don't seriously think that it's even possible to win over his hardcore fans—they have a LOT of reasons for backing him, and truthfulness was never one of them. Instead, it's about trying to weaken his soft support, to give them a reason to think again about supporting Don, or maybe even to help nudge them toward opposition.
