They see the need for change and want change and they want their country- and their religion- back.
I would call that making an intelligent decision.

I wouldn't.
Just because someone is "surging" in popularity does not mean they're any good, or guarantee they
will be any good at the job they seek.
Again, as I've often said, CONGRESS has the bulk of the power in the Federal Government and all we do is keep putting those people (or their clones) back in office, only to get some vague sense of patriotism when the presidential races start up.
And my point was, if the people DID have any intelligence they wouldn't have continually voted in the people who MADE the term "change" sound so good.
