Many American voters are not educated and well-informed enough to vote for president at this time in our history. The country is in bad shape, but many will cast a ballot, as we saw in 2010, on the basis of frustration or other emotion and with simplistic ideas in their heads.
As old Winston Churchill stated: "Democracy is the worst form of government devised by the mind of man, except for all of the others."
So what form of gov. do you suggest since we are sheep being lead to slater? Churchhill was smart enough to realize that the U.S. could save his ass...good move on his part.
