(43,049 posts)Face it-- very few people actually vote with their heads not their hearts. Everyone likes to claim they make informed choices, but how many really do? How many fully understand the issues they claim to be voting on?
What great plans did JFK have that led us to vote for him? Did Carter have great plans, or did we just trust him to set the ship of state right after Nixon upset it?
And on it goes. Every Presidential candidate since at least Jefferson has fed us a bunch of bullshit while running. "A chicken in every pot!" has always been the rallying cry and promised giveaway.
OK, maybe Ike didn't have to bullshit us-- we damn well knew what he did and could do.
So, to today...
The country was unhappy for some reason, and decided to give an untested outsider a chance. Bad idea. We ended up with the most corrupt, incompetent, troublesome choice we ever had. Why on earth would anyone choose another wild card with no real track record?
Nope, the country wants to return to stability and world leadership. No more chances with wild cards that could make things worse.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
