Looking for a quotation

[hvn_nbr_2]

I'm looking for a quotation that was a prediction of Dolt45. I thought it was by Somerset Maugham but I'm coming up blank in Google and Bing. The quote is to the effect that with Americans' glorification of the common man, and with the thinking that stupid is as valuable as intelligence, that some day America would actually elect an outright idiot to be president. Can anyone help?

1. Perhaps this???

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. H. L. Mencken

5. Or Isaac Asimov

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov

6. I'm working on some thoughts involving this quote and the Mencken quote. Thanks.
