"Sixty million Americans voted for a sexist with serious disrespect towards women because the average American is, to a greater or lesser extent, the same way."
I don't think so - they voted for him because the other candidate was so repulsive to them. It's like Trudeau - never would have been elected if it wasn't for the dislike of Harper. And I bet the Dems repeat their mistake because they insist on publicly interpreting that election as meaning that the people were too stupid to make the right choice.
