I'm thinking that the U.S. voting public simply doesn't like voting for public officials who are smarter than they are. Now, the guy in the White House has demonstrated that he's dumber than a box of boiled gravel, and that his henchment are so dumb they can't even hide their corrupt motives.

The opposition party, the one claiming to have the smarter people, doesn't have the smarts to come up with alternatives.

The public at large, the folks who vote, watch "American Idol" or "Fear Factor" and buy U.S.-made Hummers. They buy breakfast cereal, the packaging of which (the part they throw away) costs 10x what the cereal inside costs. It's clearly a race to the bottom.
