You have to keep in mind the location and the intellectual capacity of his audience. If he was speaking in say, Boston, he is smart enough to know that he would have been laughed off the stage if he had tried to say anything like that. I think they call that pandering to the electorate, or stooping down to their level, rather than trying to earn their votes by elevating them to yours. But that's OK. He is destined to become a loser, and irregardless of how contrived and insincere his message is, he is still too dumb to realize it. I love to watch people with huge egos. Pass the popcorn please. Do you like butter on yours?
