For what its worth, the guy represents all thats wrong with certain small pockets of parochial sh*tkicker USA....having said that, on a saturday (here in the UK) go onto various football terraces and apart from the accent, try and spot the difference
The difference is that Americans like the moron inquestion vote... in prodigious numbers. Hence our larger problem. They see a swaggering, drawling, mouth-breather who can't string a coherent sentence together and they see one of their own (despite him being a Connecticut born, Andover-Yale-Harvard educated, millionnaire son of a millionaire President and grandson of a millionnaire Senator) and due to some primitive cognitive process I cannot begin to fathom, they decide it'd be a good idea to make him President.
He's in a minority in the US, the majority are a great bunch. But hicks like him are a powerful force within "The Base". (What's the Arabic phrase for that again?)
