I can think of recent two presidents who did not display the intellectual capicity to adequately comprehend and carry out the intricacies and duties of the
POTUS. Maybe we should tackle that question before we further examine the
voter question. After all, presidents who do not have the reasoning ability of
their predecessors might cause some damage to the country, like.....oh.....let me...see.......signing legislation and executive orders that result in trillions of dollars in new deficits. <a href="http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:rjY7FT6e22MJ:ksghome.harvard.edu/~jfrankel/Republicans%2520and%2520Democrats%2520Have%2520Switched.PDF+Jeffrey+Frankel+switched&hl=en">
When it comes to White House economic policy, the Republican and Democratic parties have switched places since the 1960s.</a>
