Quote:5. There really are people who think Trump is unfit to serve but still voted for him.
Shockingly, one out of 5 people who said that Donald Trump does not have the temperament to serve effectively as president still voted for him. A little over one in 100 people who said Clinton doesn’t have the temperament still voted for her. According to the CNN exit polls a full 15 percent of those who had an unfavorable opinion of Trump still voted for him.
And this is why I'm starting to have a negative opinion of the general public of this country. People voted for someone they see as totally unfit to serve and doesn't have the temperament to serve as the best choice for leader of the country. All because something something Hillary's emails.

People are irrational, it's not just an American trait. That item 5 does imply that a fairly large number of voters believe that their vote doesn't count or that it is best used as a "protest" of its own. If you stay home because Hillary is a bad candidate, you might get President Trump. If you vote Trump even though you think he's a potential disaster, you might get President Trump. If you vote third party as a "wake up call" for the DNC, you might get President Trump.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

The DNC seems impervious to wakeup calls.
IANMTU, Donna Brazile is not universally regarded as part of the problem in the DNC.
Nor is Debbie Wasserman-Shultz.
Brad Marshall, John Podesta . . .
I could go on.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
