^^^That is a great strategy to win, just believe that your opponents are idiots and clearly less capable than you. I think that might the strategy in Afghanistan for the last thirty years

I suppose that didn't make any sense. The point, that I failed to make, is believing that your opponents are idiots may blind you from the what is really going on.

Believing they are idiots and watching them empirically demonstrate it are two different things. Your point is well taken, however.

The Idiocy of Trump Voters
Most voters don’t follow politics and policy for a living, and it’s understandable that they would often fall for arguments based on faulty numbers or a misreading of history
. But a figure like Trump is of a completely different cast than the usual political slickster. He is several orders of magnitude more clownish and uninformed than the dumbest major-party nominee I’ve ever seen before. (That would be George W. Bush.)
As low as my estimation of the intelligence of the Republican electorate may be, I did not think enough of them would be dumb enough to buy his act. And, yes, I do believe that to watch Donald Trump and see a qualified and plausible president, you probably have some kind of mental shortcoming.
As many fellow Republicans have pointed out, Donald Trump is a con man. What I failed to realize — and, I believe, what so many others failed to realize, though they have reasons not to say so — is just how easily so many Republicans are duped.

Apparently, the major definition of a Republican voter is being easily duped by con men

So, pyromaniac, ya put it back on at the cross burnings, yes?
Yeah, Trump/Miller/Pepperoni had a great week. Just slightly better press than George Zimmerman.

It's just the future of the planet at stake.
Others like to argue religion vs. science. In perpetuum.

so where did you evolve from, Heir Braun?
enquiring minds want to know.
And I say we give it back to the apes. We'd be much better off on some levels. Oh wait, that's what these Drumpf supports are trying to do.
