“We will never have the elite smart people on our side" Tough to argue with that. |

| LOL ... ex-Sen. Frothy Mix is so stupid he doesn't even realize when he's 100% right, but in a way that proves that he is the fringe-lunatic American Taliban dolt that he is ... what an incredibly stupid, shallow and dense man. |

I will never understand people taking pride in being uneducated. Maybe when they're out there at a rally, playing the fife and banging their drum, they might want to consider that the founder of Penn is Ben Franklin, and the father of UVA is Thomas Jefferson. These men epitomized an educated elite. They studied history, philosophy, languages, and science. The "genius" of the constitution didn't come out of thin air. They did not write the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers as a bit of folk wisdom. They spoke as Publius, Cato and Brutus. They knew their Locke, Hobbes, Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Hume. Far from mocking such "ivory tower" thinking, they sought it out in incredible ways. At the age our children beg for the latest video game, some of our founding fathers were studying Greek and Latin, and not to fulfill some effite requirement but in order to read the classics. Others did it the hard way: upon completing what limited education their parents could afford, they forged ahead and taught themselves.
If these men were alive they would be disgusted at the notion that the heirs of our constitutional history idolize them while crapping on one of the most important sources of their greatness. |

| Yes, the problem is they are too uneducated to realize what they are even saying. These are the people who want to lower the high school graduation requirements in math! They are bringing the USA down fast!! |

He was pandering. The man got his undergraduate from Penn state and MBA from UP. He was hardly illiterate. |

So he is not stupid, he is just a cravenly political hypocrite who doesn't even realize he IS the educate elite he rails against. Got it. Either way, he's repulsive. |

Which is worse: to believe it, or to lie to the people for your own benefit? |

He may not believe it, but I certainly do. |
