Well, I was pretty sure it was rigged until you just posted, since your the first person to not get Sanders...

Trump 25 years ago on Oprah.

Ok. Put simply, he's a narcissistic asshole, which is one good reason he'd make a bad POTUS.

Now, here's my opinion on the presidency:

We need a kind of co-presidency, a politician to handle the executive and legislative side of things, and an expert economist to figure out how to completely eliminate the national debt, end our dependence on foreign oil, and increase the value of paper money by associating it with the value of gold and silver.

What that site shows is that Democrats would win on policy, if people voted on policy.

I saw that same "voters are secretly stupid" theory advanced in the Libertarian Party many times.

Stupid? Or dumb?

Undertoad · 09-14-2015, 12:50 PM

Well,

Wait, what?

Happy Monkey · 09-14-2015, 01:31 PM

There are any number of reasons to vote on things other than policy; not all of them are stupid.

Of course, not all of them aren't.

Undertoad · 09-14-2015, 04:51 PM

So what you're saying is, the voters may be dumb, but they're not stupid.

~ or is it the other way around ~

sexobon · 09-14-2015, 05:14 PM

I'd have to say they're stupid, but not dumb 'cause it seems they're able to speak.

Zathris · 09-14-2015, 05:40 PM

Dumb - Not knowing any better.
Stupid - Knowing better, but doing something anyway, even tho it may not be a good idea.

That might be a regional distinction... It's one of the answers on this Stack Exchange question, but I'm not sure how widespread it is.
