Clinton To Go After That Elusive (and Critical) Idiot Vote

All you ever hear about in the news is the critical "undecided voters" or the ever-important "minority vote" (I like to call that one the "not white male vote"). Well, Hillary Clinton might have figured out the secret to beating Barack the Magic Negro: the large and often overlooked idiot vote. It should be noted that just because someone is thinking about / has decided to vote for Hillary, it does not mean they are necessarily an idiot.

Unfortunately, idiots are a very large part of the American population, and the majority of them can vote. According to the 2000 census, Idiot-Americans make up approximately 63% of the population, so if one candidate can mobilize a significant number of idiots, they very well may win the White House.

Of course, that begs the question - how does one mobilize an idiot? Conventional wisdom would say give something away for free when an idiot votes for you, like a t-shirt or coozy. It works for credit cards, so why wouldn't it work for a vote? However, since that probably violates multiple laws and one's right to privacy, it's not a viable option. The next logical step would be to get your face and message to the idiots via the TV, which means the candidate looking for the idiot vote has to go on the show for idiots. And that is exactly what the cunning and sharp Hillary Clinton has done.

According to this article in the NY Times, Hillary Clinton will be appearing on an upcoming episode of The Tyra Banks Show. I really wish people would not continue to legitimize the myth that Tyra Banks is a credible journalist by going on her show. Anyway, attempting to capture the idiot vote is the only logical explanation for Hillary going on a show like The Tyra Banks show. For those of you who do not watch The Soup or Best Week Ever, Tyra and her crazed rants / antics are a weekly feature on these shows.

Just to hammer the point home, here are some other topics that will be featured on The Tyra Banks Show this week: The Dangers of the Hook-Up, Sex SOS: Can My Sex Problem Be Solved, and 5 Ways To Get Over Being Dumped. And let's not forget about past topics such as Witches, Gadgets to Catch a Cheating Man, and the time she wore a fat suit to find out what it's like to be fat.

It should also be noted that Barack Obama visited the show back in September, which would indicate that the Democrats are primarily interested in the idiot vote.
