Yes, a lot of people underestimate his intelligence. They see him as a clown but that is just acting on his part.
Well, for me, I didn't see his speech tonight as his being any more intelligent ...just that he was more clam and mature. I still don't buy his assertion that "I'm a really smart person." Yeah, yeah, I know all you Trump supporters want to punch me in the face but I still believe he's not as intelligent as he claims.
As I've mentioned before, he didn't graduate at the top of his class at Wharton. He only got into Wharton because of his family ties and only attended for two years. He brags about his Wharton degree as being "prestigious" but it was an undergraduate degree. The real prestigious degrees from Wharton are the MBAs.
I also read where he wasn't a very good student at the private schools he went to as a kid.
But I know all the kool-aid drinkers will rebut that he didn't have to be a good student to show his genius and couldn't have made all the excellent business deals he did if he wasn't intelligent. Okay, he's not dumb but neither is he super intelligent either.
This was by far most articulate he has been in a long time. To those who say he was not his usual crass, it just shows the man knows where he is and behaves accordingly. This was not a 10,000 person rally.
I must have missed something because he seemed pretty much the same as always to me. He didn't answer specifics on any of his proposals. He had a nasty shout out to Paul Ryan. Same old, same old.
My utter contempt for the phoniness of Rubio and his rancid recent speeches is strangely driving me towards Trump, who is at least not as calculating/political/deceitful.

Hah, I didn't really understand it initially until TV commentators and somebody mentioned it on another thread here. It wasn't a "victory speech" that he gave. It was a press conference ...a press conference that was intentionally staged to imitate a presidential press conference complete with the question-and-answer period at the end where the president calls on reporters by name. Even the multiple American flags in the background made if feel "presidential."
That's why he was so calm and "acting" more presidential and not his usual maniacal self
He's a lot closer than that shrieking woman in the pantsuit. The prospect of listening to her for eight years almost makes Trump's unctuous egotism preferable.
I couldn't agree more. She reminds me of an old, cranky middle school teacher whose volume is stuck on high.
