OK.  But if tens of millions were mesmerized (evidence please?) they only vote once, so tens of millions.  Out of hundreds of millions of votes.

I am not buying it.  They can be supporters without being mesmerized.

John K Clark

 

 

But his approval ratings were just average, if anything below average.  He had the press against him, perhaps as a result of his saying they were enemies of the people (so they wrote negative stories on him (well imagine that.))  He had 47 felony convictions (…welllll… depending how you look at it) he had everything going against him really.  

 

So… how… did… the opposition party manage to lose?
