I’m still in mild shock at how bad I misread the 2012 election. I could not understand how any rational voter could re-elect him. The conclusion is that the majority of voters are not rational.
I was shocked too; the man was taking a wrecking ball and breaking all his promises, but he won. Electing a Republican (a sincere one) is giving an adult the reins and we for some reason lost the 2012 election despite an obvious want of serious leadership that would inspire respect.
