After reading some articles in papers these days I had to think about this thread.
I don't know why it is but it seems that in many countries politicians shouldn't be too smart otherwise the voters don't trust them.
In the past a politician, especially a presidential candidate was supposed to be at least a pretty smart person.
Reading about the GOP presidential candidate elections makes me desperate and very negative about the future of our world as we know it.
Why does every candidate of the republicans need to be a completely ignorant moron? Some of them are slightly less moronic, but things like not knowing the USSR doesn't exist anymore etc. should disqualify you directly from running for the most important job on this world or am I wrong?
