Never underestimate the power of stupid people when they are herded together in large numbers.
Recall how the political elites chuckled back in February 2007 when an unknown, half-arsed, illegal immigrant, failed community organizer from Chicago announced he was running for the democratic nomination against the fabled Clinton juggernaut.
Everyone knew that Bill Clinton was the smartest political operator to ever live and that the 2008 nomination and election was a guaranteed lock for The Beast herself.
Especially when Boehner, Cantor and the rest of the amnesty at all costs GOPe are going to throw the election with their enemy collaboration.
He won because nobody wanted another 4 years of Clinton’s!
(And the rest of the field was equally corrupt.)
