You would never guess who? Pres. Barack Obama and the woman Hillary Clinton? . . . According to 2016 Gallup Polls. Distant second male is the Trump. Not so distant second female is Michelle.

    Three are thoroughly reprehensible, and the other is married to one of them. It’s really a measure of the people slackjawed Americans most often see represented in the media, but still shows just how far we have our heads up our collective behinds.

    ” . . . still shows just how far we have our heads up our collective behinds.”

    Projecting much?

    It’s true that the percentage point difference for men was higher, but Obama got 47% more votes than Trump (22 vs. 15), while Hillary got 50% more than Michelle (12 vs. 8). Anyway, I think these numbers aren’t very meaningful since most people chose nobody, a friend or relative, or a person not near the top of the list (those with more than 1% total 43% for men and 34% for women).

    Very interesting, Bruce. I had not heard of her before.

    I’d love to hear who others most admire.
