Well, in that case Trummp has done a fantastic job proving those people wrong. But that still confuses me: who can like this personality when it's on the world platform, and not just a TV stereotype?

Could we at least elect someone likeable like Bill Nye if we're voting based on "personality"?

Most Americans don’t care for someone put together. That’s interpreted as pretentious.

They want someone a bit stupid, who says stupid things. They want someone who’s an asshole because asshole is basically synonymous with badass protagonist.
