Trump: "I don't know that we need to get out the vote..."

“I don’t know that we need to get out the vote.
I think people that really want to vote, they’re gonna just get up and vote for Trump.”

— Donald Trump, quoted by TPM.

he's mentally lazy to an extreme point.

But for me, one of the key components to intelligence is curiosity. I see none of that in Trump.

Even some psychopaths can pretend to express empathy, for example. A psychopath running for political office might recognize that attacking a grieving family might lose him votes and adjust his rhetoric accordingly, even if he doesn't actually FEEL empathy. But Cheeto Jesus, nope.

Here's the 5 major components of EQ:

INTRAPERSONAL (self-awareness and self-expression)
INTERPERSONAL (social awareness and interpersonal relationship)
STRESS MANAGEMENT (emotional management and regulation)
ADAPTABILITY (change management)
GENERAL MOOD (self-motivation)

Yeah, it doesn't look good.

I live in a red state, and I've seen Hillary ads, zero for Trump. Maybe he thinks with all the baggers here he doesn't need to air them, and he probably doesn't, but we got our share of Romney ads last time. And it doesn't matter how much a person likes Trump, they still have to make it to the polls.
