Do you honestly think Hillary speaks to a higher reading level?
Like it or not, the average reading level of American adults is at the 7th or 8th grade level. The vast majority of public office seekers speak to that level because they understand that's the level of the audience they're communicating to. To equate this to the intelligence level of any particular candidate is extremely superficial and ill-considered.

Mr. Trump's simply demonstrated that he can appeal to the lowest common denominator.
How difficult is that, really?
Nobody can complain about regular folk, average dudes or random dumb asses attaining high office if regular folk, average dudes and random dumb asses are given the power to seat the candidate.
I used to be more optimistic about our collective intelligence, but the fact that my reasonable choices for President are Clinton and Trump only exposes my naivity on the matter. Carlin was right. I would like to vote for Johnson, but what's the fucking point? I think I'll sit this one out.

The only authentic person running for presidency this year was Bernie Sanders. Fuck everyone else.

The fucking point..
Voting for president is a four year commitment, but a supreme court nominee is for life.
Johnson and Stein aren't getting a pick.
If you don't think the choice of the next supreme court judge is important.. Sit it out. The vote for president isn't just about the person who sits in the oval office.

Just finished watching Obama speak. Compared to him Trump has the class of a sewer worker and the thought of that miserable crooked pig representing this country is an idea which simply cannot be tolerated.
Anyone who wants to vote for Trump can go fuck yourself.

All Trump has to do is talk like a normal human being that can relate to the working and lower class there goes the election
a complete landslide to Trump.

Well, I know that's the most important factor I use when voting. He talks like a regular guy. That obviously means he's real down to earth. I mean he has to be! He's only declared bankruptcy 6 times, and is a billionaire who owns his own private jet plated in gold. Who doesn't own one of those? My husband has 2! He sure seems like the type of guy you can sit down and buy a beer company with.

This is no point at all. It's not that I find the consideration disagreeable, it's that it is inconsequential. Policy positions and effects such as SCOTUS appointments won't decide the election; it's all a popularity contest which will be won by the candidate that can drive the most people to the polls via different flavored demagoguery. If considerations like SCOTUS appointments were truly considered, neither one of these shitbags would be nominees. Again, the result of regular folk and random dumb asses.

Replace Trump with Clinton and your comment retains its meaning and integrity. Sad thing for Democrats is that Obama, or anyone approaching him in character and intelligence, leads the ticket.
Hillary Clinton is no Barack Obama, not even close.
