    And yet he was elected twice. I’d say he’s the average Joe in America

          Indeed, and “It is what it is.” and “It’s one of those things.” and “It has come to this.” and other such substantive axioms.

          My previous reply was not to deny the fact of his presidency. It was to take exception to the notion that he is “the average joe in America” when he was rejected by America’s average joe at least three times as often as not.

          In times past losing a presidential election spelled the end for a candidate’s presidential ambitions but for some reason the adjudicated rapist seems heedless of the electorate’s “No.”

      i suspect he’s actually smarter than them given that this class and position give him access to knowledge and professionals that the average joe will refuse to accept.
