Nope, can't buy that. Plenty of self-described "Independents" put that asshole in office. There is no excuse for these people failing to see what they see now. NONE.
What do the average people know about anyone in politics ???
We work for a living, come home , turn on TV. and get our information in a quick 30 second blurb of news. We eat our dinner and go to bed while the world turns unless something comes up to effect us personally.
Eupher how do the family's that work 2 jobs, have children to care for , bills to pay and worry about ageing parents have much time to spend looking into their government or town Representatives.??
Most don't as they are to busy trying to raise kids, and that is a job in itself. There are school plays to go to, sporting games to go to and for those that coach little league, what time is there to study any of our elective officials.???
Just when do people have time to investigate our elected officials when one is getting 6 hours a night sleep due to family.????
Not easy when so much is going on, not to mention the people that are not so honest folk. Need I say more??
