As a person with a completely useless Master's Degree in History I have always thought George was way off base. It does not matter if you know history or not it is human nature to do idiotic things and be harmful to your fellow human beings. The Supreme court gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the lessons of that were in their own lifetimes.
Ted Cruz is an Ivy League snob who has bamboozled low information voters in Texas to vote for him. Someone who attended Harvard he still was idiotic enough to shut down the government last year.
