You have no idea what a visionary is apparently. None whatsoever.

You're right. I'm too stupid like everyone else on this forum.

Visionary (n): 8. a person who sees visions.

Did you know what a visionary was? Maybe you are thinking of another definition:

Visionary (n): 9. a person who is given to audacious, highly speculative, or impractical ideas or schemes; dreamer.

Or maybe you were thinking of the word as an adjective:

Visionary (a) : 1. given to or characterized by fanciful, not presently workable, or unpractical ideas, views, or schemes: a visionary enthusiast.

No wait. You couldn’t have meant ANY of the advjectives:

2. given to or concerned with seeing visions.
3. belonging to or seen in a vision.
4. unreal; imaginary: visionary evils.
5. purely idealistic or speculative; impractical; unrealizable: a visionary scheme.

Oh wait, I see the problem. Out of the 9 possible definitions of “visionary”, you assume the usage here must have been this one (n):
7. a person of unusually keen foresight.

If only Newt had used that keen foresight to avoid certain living room furniture. He’d have had an easier time this election.
