What is this: a presidential election or the election for Homecoming king/queen? Jay-zus H. Christ on a ******* pogo stick! The comparative academic merits of the four members of the two tickets matter about as much as does the price of rice in Thailand.
Seems to me the last time we had an academician in the ****ing white house, we got a dictator (Woodrow Wilson, for those of us who're victims of a public education) who's suspension of civil liberties, rounding up of political enemies, monopolization of the media stream with propaganda and "not allowing [the average American] to go back to the way they were" (sound familiar?) was the sort of stuff humble leaders like Hitler, Stalin and Musolini would later aspire to (not hyperbole, by the way).
Why in the hell should we want to go back to the likes of that again?
