They’re idiots.
A Rhodes Scholar graduating from Oxford and Harvard. A naval intelligence officer.
People seem to want slogans rather than intelligence.
A lot of Dems also want Obama again, any piece they can get of him. Hillary, Biden, anyone who is connected to him. But they aren't Obama, he's gone. Unless Michelle runs again. People love their political dynasties, even in Canada with Justin. Good brand recognition so people don't have to actually think.
I agree people are dumb, judge people on their own merits.
