Not just noninformed, not just misinformed, but also malinformed and PROUD of it.

It's anti-knowledge, negative-number informed. If you knew nothing, you would still know more than a Trump supporter.

He is re-inventing himself as we speak.
I am afraid at the end of the day we will discover
he is wicked smart... which he is.

And if he doesn't know, then he doesn't know. But he will know what he knows and will not know what he will not know.

would be a GREAT running mate!

Dan Quayle: arguably the dimmest bulb ever to hold the job.
Sarah Palin: arguably the most confused ever to be put up for the job.

For what it is worth Dick Nixon had a remarkably poor memory for certain things.

And then there's Dim Son...


I suspect that as long as the GOP prop Trump up with a VP who can do, like Cheney, "they" won't care.

Many of Trump's followers not only cannot remember facts and history, many of them never knew either in the 1st place, which has much to do with them accepting the stuff he makes up with every new breath. That same capacity does not explain the MSM's wanton acts of amnesia. But I suppose selective amnesia is the natural state of Infotainment rather than NEWS.

11. What Really Pisses Me Off about Der TrumpenFuhrer

Is that the media will not call bullshit on the bullshit he spews. The media used to be a watchdog unafraid to call out BS on ANY candidate regardless of affiliation. Now the media is a complicit lapdog, or should I say, a nut-less milquetoast. That coupled with the minuscule IQ of the collective electorate, any failure to call BS in effect legitimizes this bullshit.

and opinion to the benefit of the highest bidder and which often uses the lowest common denominator to achieve that end.

He did it once and it immediately became and issue. He then did it the following day (more than once). Big liar, on top of the other things he is.
