Perhaps. But who ever thought that a black guy with a muslim name that sounds eerily similar to an arch terrorist who was close friends with a racist preacher and a domestic terror mastermind and a guy who got caught flat out plagiarizing his entire campaign from a UK Labour leader would ever be elected as Pres/VP?
Whoever thought a guy from AR who dodged the draft and lied about it, was well known to be a rabid womanizer, had used drugs in his past, would ever be elected?
Whoever thought Richard Nixon whose career seemingly ended in disgrace when he lost the Gov race in CA would ever be elected President?
Things happen in politics.
Whoever thought a guy from AR who dodged the draft and lied about it, was well known to be a rabid womanizer, had used drugs in his past, would ever be elected?
Those things happened with the complete support of the MSM, which is still very powerful and influences a large portion of the electorate.
