Clint Eastwood may be a great director, but he isnh't really that gbreat of an actor. His debate with the empty chair at a republican convention kind of made him look too foolish in the eyes of too many republicans for him o ever be elected president. Then again, a person being a fool does not seem to be a deterrent for republican voters.

@Morganfreeman I don't see what your first and second sentence have to do with one another. Also, yes he does/did; he tried to aid Romney's campaign against Obama.

@Morganfreeman I was just trying to think of someone who might be able to keep them entertained like Trump has. Like a shiney object. Most of Trump's contenders were/are kind of "boring" compared to our loud and flamboyant president.

@Morganfreeman nice in what way???

His approval ratings are always way too high for me to look at the general intelligence of this country's conservatives in an optimistic manner.

@ClaytonE83 Yeah. I often am overly optimistic and probably put too much faith in people doing the intelligent thing. I leep havign to remind myslef that the average IQ i sonly 100, which means half score lower... and most of those on the lower end vote republican.

@snytiger6 sometimes being on the lower end seems appealing though...

@ClaytonE83 Yeah, they do say ignorance is bliss... But, I think an aware that one is not smart would be worse than beign smart and beign aware of all the ills of the world.
