How Can People Be So Dumb?

Somebody pinch me. Please tell me this is just a nightmare and I'm going to wake up and it will all be over. Donald Trump is the presumptive nominee for the Republican party? REALLY? How in the world did that happen? I'm still flabbergasted at the fact that more than 1/3 of the Republican party electorate, actually believe this man is qualified to be the President of the United States. Why is it that a narcissistic, sexist, racist, macho bigot with little to know knowledge of the key issues facing our country, continues to rack up votes. Could it be that we've become a generation incapable of depth with short attention spans, addicted to 140 character tweets and therefore content with idiotic one liners such as "I will make America great again." Why doesn't stand up in these rallies, look this guy in the face, and pose the simple question, "How, Mr. Trump?"

"Can you believe Crooked Hillary blah blah blah blah." "Oh wow, lyin' Ted Cruz really went wacko today." Are these childish remarks the type of behavior that dignifies the office of the Presidency? How can a man who calls Mexicans rapists, who views women as arm candy, and all Muslims as terrorists and opens his mouth and pretty much says whatever he feels like without thinking of the repercussions be qualified to be the leader of our great nation?

I still have hope, however, that the majority of Americans (the 2/3 that are repulsed by him), will realize that the only way to determine our destiny, is to go to the voting stations come November, and make sure that ANYONE but Trump is elected. I have faith in the ability of moderate Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike to see past his ludicrous one liners, and to do what is best for America. Mr. Trump, you are not dealing with first graders, the American electorate is far more sophisticated than you think.

If you want to read about more idiotic things Trump has said, there are entire websites dedicated to those quotes. Here is one of them.
