Everyone who thought Trump could not get the nomination was vastly undercounting nation's idiots

[dixiegrrrrl]

Borowitz line, but not off target at all.

3. Please stop

Go to the forum where bashing Democrats is encouraged.

7. So many Smiling Faces makes me think of a song by The Undisputed Truth

Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
The truth is in the eyes
Cause the eyes don't lie, amen
Remember a smile is just
A frown turned upside down
My friend let me tell you
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth, uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
I'm telling you beware
Beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Jealousy (jealousy)
Misery (misery)
Envy
I tell you, you can't see behind smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)
I'm telling you beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
Listen to me now, beware
Beware of that pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Your enemy won't do you no harm
Cause you'll know where he's coming from
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya
Take my advice I'm only try' to school ya

[warrprayer]

8. Great song

And so true!

[warrprayer]

12. This...

"Your enemy won't do you no harm
Cause you'll know where he's coming from
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya
Take my advice I'm only try' to school ya"

[Wounded Bear]

2. Reminds me of an old engineering axiom...

"Anybody who thinks he has designed something that is foolproof is underestimating the capabilities of fools."

Apt corollary, I think.

4. this explains it

9. *snort*

damn if that does not seem to be true.

[hollowdweller]

5. Trump allows them to vote both their fears and prejudices AND their economic interests.

No wonder he's doing so well.

[Initech]

6. Reminds me of a scene from 30 Rock:

Jack: Lemon, why is Tracy protesting this network with a megaphone?
Liz: It's a good one Jack, Tracy is staging a protest against the network because of his fellow idiots.
Jack: Oh no Lemon. I need idiots, you need idiots. Who do you think is watching your show?
Liz: Funky taste makers?
Jack: Look at this chart. Black nerds. Jet Blue passengers who fall asleep with the TV on, pets whose owners have died, and idiots. You need to fix this.

[Kilgore]

10. Don't underestimate Trump

[davidn3600]

11. Republicans underestimated Trump and got burned

Democrats better not make the same mistake.

[flamingdem]

13. Problem: he's dragging the knuckle draggers out to vote

That unfortunately is a game changer.

The Dems need to spend major dough to get people out.

[struggle4progress]

14. I have lots of practice undercounting the nation's idiots:

did it in 68; did it again in 80; then once more in 88; and in 00, too

I don't have a clue how anybody could pull the lever for Trump
