I think there are a lot of folks that call the "mess" his mean tweets and comments. They have no idea what is going on in this country, policy wise, so they simply vote on appearance and whether or not they like the candidate, whoever makes them feel good. The low information, American Idol voter.
Many of these are folks haven't made a decision up to the debates because they want to hear what they have to say, even though they have years and years of experience to base a decision on. They just simply don't pay attention.
This is our biggest problem, not the candidates.
