I just worry that the majority of voters in these dumbed down times are too stupid to appreciate Pete’s supreme qualifications.

The fact that around 70 million Americans voted for a fucking CONVICTED FELON does not inspire any confidence that the most qualified will indeed be elected into office.

But yeah, in an ideal world, Pete B.would be a tremendous President….
