I'm not trying to provoke a debate, I'm asking a serious question
Is there a level of stupidity in Republicans when it comes to supporting Donald Trump?
Trump names Cruz when asked about VP spot
Trump wants to select Ted Cruz as his running mate?
The same Trump who spent four years proclaiming the Obama was not eligible to be President due to some bogus claim that he was not born in America?
Now he wants to name someone who without question was born in Canada?
Are Republicans really this stupid or is it some reality TV show being orchestrated by Trump and mainstream Republicans just don't get it
I wouldn't use the word stupid for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is because it's a pejorative. However, in my experience, many people who describe themselves as conservative come off as woefully ignorant and uninformed when talking about the issues.
How ironic.
It's not ironic at all. If anything, it's just plain sad. For example, the successive conservative fawning love fest for conservative candidates like Alan Keyes, Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Donald Trump, and Ben Carson only shows that erudition is not something that the conservative base tends to admire in their candidates. They seem to want incendiary rhetoric and rhetorical nonsense from their candidates. Then they're happy. But when candidates show up with some policy chops and speak on subjects like they really know what they're talking about, conservatives seem turned off by that. Keep in mind that you're supposed to be trying to elect someone for the biggest job in the world. If your candidate doesn't have a working knowledge of complex public policy issues, America could end up with another disaster like George W. Bush. I mean, don't any of you remember how foolish Sarah Palin sounded every time she opened her mouth?
