How many times had we heard how stupid the American people were? For DECADES I've been hearing it. And yet, voting for a Republican before Trump didn't seem like it was a total exercise in stupidity. Well, ok, Duh-bya was about as dumb as the Presidential candidates had gotten.

But now Trump. Now we can quantify it a little better. It looks like upwards of 35% of American voters are thick as a brick. Ok, they're racists too, but to swallow what Trump is feeding them, you have to be missing a few tools in the toolbox.

That is still MILLIONS of people. (sigh)
