It is a national embarrassment that there are enough insane voters in America...

To push such bad and insane candidates to frontrunner status of the Republican presidential nomination. I don't have to ever feel embarrassed to look or sound crazy knowing that there are so many Americans that are actually seriously crazy.

Over 50% of the respondents were sure the world was only 6,000 years old.

Hey, maybe that should be a question for the next Republican Debate.

Ask the clown car if the world is 6,000 years old, or around 4.5 billion years old.

I'd love to see them answer that one!!!!

Dumb, misinformed, propaganda soaked, brain-washed, contrarian - there's no end to the negative qualities demonstrated by the average conservative American voter. The situation is so intransigent that I wouldn't care if it weren't for the incredible difference to the world a man like Bernie Sanders could make.

What is an embarrassment is the number of people who do not vote and then bitch about the nutjobs that get elected.

I remember when Reagan was elected, feeling surprised there were so many people so easily fooled - alas, it no longer surprises me

Lack of an unbiased education, brainwashing by pulpit pounders, low information...this is what happens.

It's getting worse day by day and is bringing down America.

and then they do! Celebrating stupid really isn't something to be proud of. And I hear that Norway is using the slang term "Texas" to denote an idiot. Wow.

The snakeoil salesmen preyed on them in the 1800's. Fox News pundits are the modern snakeoil salesman.
