Basically would you rather live the rest of your life in mediocrity or get vaporized due to someone putting their copy of Redbook on the button by mistake.

The way the US has lowered the bar it would not be surprising to see a pedophile elected to POTUS in my lifetime.

In my defense, I was looking at the question as a choice between two wholly hypothetical scenarios. What would I personally prefer? Living in a country governed by a wise, thoughtful, educated person forever? Or letting a completely unprepared and unqualified person take the reins of government for even a short time? No contest.

No one asked if I wanted to trash the Constitution.

Stupid poll. No one can be president for life anyway.

Wouldn't that be refreshing indeed! Forgive me if I don't hold my breath though.

Even the woman with no brain, would know this is a 'no-brainer'.

Guess what my poll answer was.

That's like asking for a kick in the groin or a knee to the crotch.
