I always knew there were many dumb shits in our country who would believe anything..

but the Trump campaign has put an exclamation point on it!

There are a hella lot of really fucking stupid people in the USofA

And they got the dumbest leader of the pack of all time. The dumber the better it seems.

It has surpassed anything I could have imagined.

Many of them do not know they are of below average intelligence and are not smart enough to to know it. It is very frustrating to discuss things with them. I try to avoid political discussions at the golf course ( yes I am a Democrat who plays golf; which is not that unusual, but still in the minority).

He can talk forever without ever addressing the questions asked to him in the debates. He is good with sound bites that dumb people pick up on. They can't seem to tell that everything else out of his mouth is just filler. He has no real plans.

and about to elect the first Female President. Our numbers are going up and they are getting desperately angry realizing that the old reliable wedge issues are no longer working in their favor to elect a Republican President
