After decades of that, finally they have a candidate that embodies all of this. He's not educated in the affairs of the world, the affairs of the country, he has no real grasp of how politics work at all. The GOP finally has their actual anti-intellectual candidate.

There was a lot of talk about this during the Primaries and even prior going back to the Palin phenomenon and the Tea Party rise. A party playing the rubes for their votes and it finally backfired on them.
