MENCKEN WAS RIGHT

99 years ago, in the midst of the insanity sweeping the country over the Scopes Monkey Trial, H.L. Mencken made the following observation:

“Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”

Proof of that fact is shown in the results of a recent Harvard CAPS-Harris poll, conducted last week, November 15-16, AFTER Trump made his “vermin” speech that even had the Washington Press Corpse calling out the Nazi antecedents.

And yes, these people are so fucking stupid they need crutches for their brains and yes, I shouted my responses as I read this in The Hill.

“Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. currently leads the pack of 2024 presidential candidates with a high favorability rating among respondents in a new Harvard CAPS-Harris survey. 

“The poll, published Monday and shared with The Hill, found that 52 percent of respondents said they have a favorable opinion of Kennedy, while 27 percent of respondents had an unfavorable opinion of him. Kennedy also had the highest net favorability rating of 25 points.

THIS IS THE ANTI-VAXXER WHOSE EVERY DAMN STATEMENT ON POLITICS IN THE PAST 10 YEARS HAS BEEN PROVEN FALSE.

Kennedy scored significantly higher than the runner-up, former President Trump, in terms of net favorability. While Trump was viewed favorably by 51 percent of respondents, he had a net favorability rating of 7 points — with 44 percent of respondents viewing the GOP front-runner unfavorably.

AND THIS IS THE TRAITOR INDICTED FOUR TIMES ON 91 COUNTS OF FRAUD AND POLITICAL ABUSE, NAMED “THE BIGGEST THREAT TO THE PLANET IN 2024” BY THE ECONOMIST MAGAZINE.

When asked about their opinion on President Biden, 49 percent of respondents have an unfavorable opinion of the president, while 46 percent of those surveyed think otherwise. The president scored a -2 net favorability rating.

AND THIS IS THE GUY WHO IN TWO YEARS PASSED MORE LEGISLATION THAT HELPS THE FUCKING MORON DROOLERS WHO ANSWERED THIS POLL THAN ANY PRESIDENT SINCE FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT.

“Robert Kennedy has positioned himself to appeal to members of both parties though it is unclear how much of his ratings are from in depth knowledge of Kennedy vs. his popular family name,” Mark Penn, co-director of the Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll, said.

LET’S REMEMBER THAT FUCKING MORON MARK PENN IS ONE HALF OF THE SCUM WHO CREATED “NO LABELS.”

Kennedy also beat out other presidential hopefuls in the favorability ranking.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) came in fourth, with 44 percent of respondents saying they have a favorable opinion of the presidential hopeful and 38 percent responding unfavorably. The governor received a 6 percent net favorability rating.

Former UN Ambassador to the United States Nikki Haley received 43 percent of favorable respondents, while 29 percent of respondents have an unfavorable opinion of her. Still, her net favorability rating outranked that of DeSantis at 14 percent.

37 percent of respondents have a favorable opinion of entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, while 29 percent of those surveyed think otherwise, the poll said. Ramaswamy has a net favorability of 8 percent — also outranking DeSantis.

THESE PEOPLE PROBABLY CAN’T FIND THEIR ASS WITH BOTH HANDS ON A CLEAR DAY WITH A 2-HOUR ADVANCE NOTICE.

The new Harvard CAPS-Harris survey was conducted from November 15 to November 16 with a total of 2,851 respondents participating in the survey. It is a collaboration of the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University and the Harris Poll.

MENCKEN WAS AN OPTIMIST.
