2- Low information voters saw OMGAH HE'S A RICH BIZMAN and HE WASN'T CONVICTED, so... yeah, they voted for this idiot.
There are still way too many voters who automatically think a "businessman" or "businesswoman" etc can run the government better than someone like President Obama or a lifetime public servant, who knows government in their sleep.
