If not, would the knowledge have drastically changed the outcome of this week’s primary?

I doubt they know his first name is “Mehmet”, they probably think it is “Doctor”, like they think that Apple’s CEO’s name is “Tim Apple”.

Is Trump even aware that Oz is a Muslim?

What all these people, whether they are black, women, gay, muslim, etc. have in common, is that they believe that the Right Wing will accept them, because they are “one of the good ones”. What they do not realise, is that the Right Wing will drop them like a hot potato as soon as they have outlived their usefulness as the “token X”, as it happened to Milo Yiannopoulos, Matt Gaetz, or Enrique Tarrio.
Because to them, there are no good ones.

Sufi is pretty widely known, and transcends sects, so I doubt it matters if his beliefs align with the party.

Is he a Doctor?
Is Oz Oz?

I think the question starts with the idea that there are Trump cultists and goes downhill from there. It then makes the assumption that anyone that supports Donald Trump is a racist…period. Anything outside of a white Christian male is deplorable to them. That is not based in fact.

Most people that follow Trump DO know that Oz is a Muslim…that he is Turkish-American. They don’t care. I suspect that was so well known that those few people living under rocks that didn’t know it and that came out to vote would not have made a whit of difference.

The better question is: Do people that support Trump vote solely for candidates he supports or do they take the time to evaluate the views of the candidates themselves?

Maybe they need a token Muslim.
