in 2000, a woman on one of those "average voter" TV panels saying she couldn't vote for Gore because he was "a smartypants."

'Cause intelligence and knowledge in a chief executive is SO over rated.

There was a skit in 2000 that predicted the outcome of either a Gore or Bush Presidency.

They depicted Gore as a teacher while addressing the nation -- e.g., asking everyone to open their textbooks to page such-and-such.

Bush was depicted worse, at least. A large fire was seen behind the oval office window for him, with references to various disasters under his leadership. It wasn't too far off the mark!

...or as some people say: the car industry."

He actually said that entire sentence.

Had to clarify for his audience ( or so he thought) what the word automobile meant.

How? How, how, how is this man running for president?

FOX viewers are not going to be swayed, so you lose!!! This is a corporate move by CNN to shift to an enabler and dissembler of the tRump new narrative, race to the bottom and I hope CNN gets fucked for their efforts on the all important bottom line.

and their panelists took him apart. I think CNN is doing a great job at pushing back on gaslighting and BS from the GOP this election season.
