I have made this comment before, but people vote with their guts on election day, not their brains. That's all fine and dandy as long as the people we are electing actually vote with their brains. It has become increasingly clear, though, that the elected officials are voting more with their guts and their party than they are with any sort of knowledge about the policy being discussed.
If people who had brains voted with them there would never be a democrat president.
Instead they vote with their feelings and emotions. That's how Obama got elected..."the first black president, how cool is that"!?!?!?!.
Hillary ran on nothing, no message.
Then there are people without brains. The low information types. They also vote democrat. Those who don't even know how many states there are in the U.S....or the misinformed who get their news from Bill Maher then go and try and assassinate Republicans at a baseball game.
