Only stupid people vote "against" candidates. Most voters I know vote "for" a candidate.
So yeah, if you're right, and most people voted "against" the Dem candidate, yeah, they're stupid.
But, of course, I see lots of Republicans backing off Trump, saying "well, I didn't vote FOR him." I say, well, great, here's your "I'm Stupid" sign.
I also think it's shameful that Republicans all watch Fox News and let the talking heads over there tell them what to think about people. Fox was on the Hillary hunt ever since she announced her candidacy. And they worked overtime lying about her. And stupid Republicans just sucked that up and believed lies about her. Most STILL believe those lies.
Hillary is far more qualified to be president. Reality show people and especially businessmen are utterly UNqalified to be president. But middle America just doesn't care about that because they believed the Fox News lies. Electing Trump is like electing Al Capone.
And when in the hell are we going to see his tax returns?
