I think we're exactly that dumb.

Didn't we?

in 2000

I never thought Kentucky would elect Rand Paul...

We do seem to have a masochistic streak in this country...

Bush wasn't actually elected.

If Jeb Bush get's the nomination (we used to think he was the smart Bush son, but now, with several dumb missteps it looks like he's just as dense as W) repugs will vote for him but even with all their vote restriction tactics there are still way more of us dems than repugs who still remember the debacle of Cheney/Bush and will vote for the dem nominee.

Pls everyone, stop with the pessimism, we outnumber those foolish enough to vote for another Bush — and dems turn out in force for presidential elections.

Wish I could say that for mid-term elections.

and too many politically pure progressives, who wanting to 'teach a lesson' have stayed/would stay home. That toxic brew is f-ing dangerous. The idea scares me.

Think about how dumb the average American is, now realize that half of them are twice as dumb.

I have become a great deal more cynical since 2000.

"Nobody ever went broke overestimating the stupidity of the American public."

Although I'm still convinced there was some computer monkey business.
