I choose not to believe this poll

One of my favorite Bill Buckley lines was the time he told somebody- I don't remember who- "I won't insult your intelligence by believing that you really mean that."

Granted, this Rasmussen poll was taken before Donald Trump's recent idiotic statements have had a chance to sink in.

But as somebody at least on the outskirts of the Republican party, I find it very worrisome.

I will not insult the intelligence of the rank-and-file of the Republican party by accepting that they really have a more favorable opinion of Old Tribble Head than of a decorated American hero.
