You’re right about there being nothing to gain from discussing anything pre-historic (ie, anything before December 7th 1941). Everyone knows that nothing happened between the end of the the civil war and the first week in December of 1941. Cable teevee says so.
I get your sarcasm, and you’re right. However, when potentially running for office, especially the presidency, what I said unfortunately holds true.
The “Low Information Voters” always have to be the target audience for any statements, because THEY are the majority of voters overall, across all demographics. I know it sucks, but that’s the reality. In a political world of 5 second soundbites and 30 second ads, you can’t enter an in depth discussion regarding anything. Sad, but true. I’d LOVE it if someone could, but it would be a matter of losing, while feeling good about yourself while doing it...
