Ah, the demos (Latin for 'morons'). There must be some corollary to the Dunning-Kruger effect which states that some people are too stupid to realize how stupid most people actually are. I certainly suffer from this malady.
I see all kinds of reasons why Trump won but in the nine elections I've been involved in, the more charismatic person has won every time. You might immediately think GHWB had no charisma! But compare him to Dukakis and I think you'll give elder Bush the edge. But past performance does not predict future results.
- Reagan v. Mondale
- Bush v. Dukakis
- Bush v. Clinton (v. Perot)
- Clinton v. Dole
- Bush v. Gore
- Bush v. Kerry
- Obama v. McCain
- Obama v. Romney
- Trump v. Clinton
Let the idiocracy begin!
