her handlers had to show her a map of Europe and point out where Germany and France were.
" In World War ll, we fought Germany ( pointing) but France was our ally (pointing)".

this was covered in both the book and in the almost painful to watch movie, Game Change.

and I thought to myself, no one can be that dumb.

Except I honestly think Trump is doing a much better job at talking to the low IQ people. He is speaking their ignorance.

Palin actually spoke in more abstract terms, even if they were not complete sentences.
Or ideas.

He said "intelligently" in one recent talk when he meant "intentionally".

There have been quite a few tell tale signs that he has early dementia.

Did nobody in the media pick that up? Probably not.

Drumpf will just lie and lie and lie, talk nonsense, then lie some more. Without anyone to call him out, it will just be he said, she said.
Now, intelligent knowledgeable folks will recognize the heavy scent of BS, but what about regular folks? Hillary is going to have to be at the top of her game, he's not a regular person, he's a total psychopath. I do look forward to the foreign policy, veterans affairs shindig tonight. I hope he goes first so she can destroy him, point by point.

67. Trumps inverted world
Thu Sep 8, 2016, 01:09 AM
Sep 2016

So Trump appears to be the Republican upper management mindset, the intellectual group which is shoving into America what is called a mental jabberwocky.

Lewis Carroll, the famous English writer reveals a character coined as the "Jabberwocky” considered one of the greatest nonsense poems written in English. [wiki] Its playful, whimsical language has given English nonsense words and neologisms such as "galumphing" and "chortle".

That’s like talking to my sixty-five-year-old brother in-law that has a third grade mental, he is a Trump fan. America is in deep trouble, because there is an incredible slew of third grade fifty, sixty-year-old mental low information social networks called veterans.

Its alarming Trump is high in the new poles. Yet the mainstream media seems to make America believe the race is so close. What jumps out at me is a new term called the Survey Monkey. It might be the Washington post or maybe I’m wrong.
Yet a very media racist probability coined term.

I have always wondered how in the world such a person as Trump can have so much money. If there is one factoid that Trump reveals to be rich it is, you have to be untrue in a continuum of regular sly bait and switch basis. Trump is truly that essence of the so called predator prey current Republican economic mind.
