OK. I've joined the crew that doesn't think Trump will be the nominee

92. Hmm.

No disrespect, Merrily, but you are talking about people who, to some rather great extent... deny climate change. Millions of them think the dinosaurs walked the earth at the same time as humans, too. They, in general, do not accept evolution as more than a whacked out theory by a guy who was maybe a whacked out Satanist, you know, that Darwin fella... (a little sarcasm on that last bit, for those who didn't notice)

You are talking about people who have edited history books to censure any mention of things like slavery (because maybe then people will forget?). You are talking about people who think we are going to build a wall across the border - and make Mexico pay for it.

I could go on and on... and of course there are educated and intelligent republicans - but, in general? No, they really are kind of stupid. At best, they are ignorant and terribly uninformed. Are we helpless to outsmart them? No. The issue is that we are helpless to outvote them, at present. We can be brilliant, we can be a million times smarter than them, but it doesn't matter if we don't have the votes.
