FaultyGourry 02/14/18 9:47:26 PM #7:	Yes. The last presidential election proves it. The two worst candidates in history had people not only voting for them but cheering for them. Voting for Trump or Hillary is one thing, but cheering them because they had the 'correct' letter next to their name is the height of stupidity. --- You can tell a lot about a man by how he strangles you.
