I am certain that every one of us have thought--how could this country screw up this badly. Are there people that are really this stupid in this country? Nominating someone that never won a single debate during the primary or with Hillary Clinton. Whom continually exhibited his lack of experience, his lack of knowledge, lack of everything, including respect & dignity that represents the office of the Presidency.
So how were millions of people convinced that he was the right one out of 17 GOP candidates? A few of them much more qualified and competent to become POTUS. If anyone ever tells you that Trump won a single debate, or walked away believing he was competent enough to be POTUS--they're lying through their teeth.
This about summed up Trump's debate skills.
I think it started 2 decades ago, by a large segment of the population insisting on living in a right wing media bubble. FOX NEWS, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity & several others. Those that take information, regurgitate it, then spoon feed it back to their audiences in 3 or more daily hours of right wing hyperbole, half truths, tons of misinformation, and enough conspiracy theories to fill the capital building from floor to ceiling. All done to give their audience's--
The news that they wanted to hear.
"It is not entirely true that Trump engineered a “hostile takeover” of the GOP. As Conor Friedersdorf
wrote last year in the Atlantic: “the elements of the party that sent pro-Trump cues to primary voters—Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Bill O'Reilly, Sarah Palin, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Jeff Sessions, Rudi Guiliani, Rick Scott, Jan Brewer, Joe Arpaio, Breitbart.com, The Drudge Report, The New York Post, —are simply more powerful, relative to National Review, Mitt Romney, John McCain, and other ‘Trump is unacceptable’ forces, than previously thought.”
The GOP That Failed
Some of them, of course, are now running like a bunch of rats leaving a sinking ship.
FOX NEWS who gave Trump an unprecedented amount of free coverage during the primary season, while ignoring all other GOP candidates, whom are also running for cover & actually reported on
3 criminal Federal Grand Jury indictments and one guilty plea in this manner.
The above spent many years convincing their audiences that all other media outlets were fake news. This article explains it in detail. How the stage was set for Donald Trump long ago.
Donald Trump broke the conservative media
Of course,Trump supporters have their own issues also. The
Dunning--Kruger effect is very interesting in the below article.

So spend some time actually
reading the articles I have linked too and watch the video--then cast your vote in the poll.
The choices in the poll are absolutely wrong. The correct answer is that the people at fault are the Democrats who allowed the Corporate Whore to cheat her way to the nomination, thus putting forth the only person ON EARTH who could not defeat Trump.
Democrats did not cast a vote for Donald Trump, you did. You are to blame.
I'm a Democrat and I DID vote for trump. That was the only way to get rid of the corrupt assholes running the dnc. Thank you very much!
Got it--you're Sanders supporter, and believed the horse shit that the campaign was rigged against Bernie--RIGHT?
Hillary Clinton kicked Sanders ass by
3,775,437 primary popular votes. No super delegates were used on Sanders nor did they have to be. In comparison, Obama defeated Hillary Clinton in 2008 by a mere
41,622 primary popular votes and super delegates were dumping Hillary Clinton to support Obama and she never cried foul.

When Sanders changed his party status to Democrat to run on their ticket, he signed off on all regulations regarding the Democrat primary and knew full well and agreed to the roll of the Super Delegates. He came right out of the gate and started campaigning on a rigged election, which was bound to piss off higher levels within the DNC, like Debbie Wasserman. So you bit into the Russian bullshit, Trump swooped in to sweep you off the street, and swallowed it all hook, line & sinker.
Bernie Sanders is also responsible for Hillary Clinton's loss. He stayed in a race that he had already lost, and insisted on continually campaigning against Hillary Clinton. After getting his ass kicked in New York he might as well been working for the Trump campaign.
Even after the last vote was counted he still would not endorse Hillary Clinton, and had to get booed by house democrats--and a kick in the ass phone call from Barack Obama to do it.
"Sen. Bernie Sanders is still talking like a guy who’s running for president. But frustrated House Democrats — who booed him at one point during a morning meeting — say it’s time to stop. With the Democratic convention just weeks away, Sanders still hasn’t endorsed one-time rival Hillary Clinton and dodged questions about when he would during a tense meeting Wednesday morning with House Democrats.
Sanders also stunned some of the Democrats in attendance when he told them that winning elections isn’t the only thing they should focus on. While they wanted to hear about how to beat Donald Trump — and how Sanders might help them win the House back — he was talking about remaking the country.
“The goal isn’t to win elections, the goal is to transform America,” Sanders said at one point, according to multiple lawmakers and aides in the room. Some Democrats booed Sanders for that line."
Sanders booed by House Democrats
There's not much difference between Trump & Sanders. They both campaigned on a rigged election, (apparently only men do that whom are getting their ass's kicked by a woman.)
They both made unrealistic campaign promises, and they
preyed upon ignorant constituents for donations and votes. Sanders supporter's were conned as badly as Trump supporters were. Sanders promising a free college education to everyone was about as realistic as Trump campaigning on a 1000 mile 40 foot high wall that Mexico was going to pay for. Sanders even got busted during a debate about breaking up the big banks, his main campaign theme by Hillary Clinton, but it didn't stop him from campaigning on it.
(The Federal Reserve bank is separate and independent of the Federal Government, meaning the Federal Government has no authority to break up the big banks.) That didn't stop Bernie though--
Bernie Sanders Can't Explain How He'd Break up the Banks
The only candidate that was campaigning on things that could actually be done was Hillary Clinton. The only thing Hillary Clinton is
guilty of, is underestimating the astounding ignorance in this country.
