Serious question for Republicans and Conservatives -- meanspirited hatemongering democrat trolls please move on...
i understand and even applaud the populism that drove Trump to win. I agree with much of his policiy agendas.
We had sixteen highly talented, highly educated, high IQ primary candidates (well maybe not Jeb) but we keep electing Low IQ candidates. Face it -- George Bush and Trump are not that intelligent.
Mitt Romney was.
Ted Cruz, Rubio, and Rand Paul could spin circles intellectually around any liberal politician. (And Ted Cruz had most of the same Trump agenda) So could most of our high IQ congressional and cabinet members -- Chavez, Gowdy, Nikki Haley, etc etc
We have so many high IQ Comservatives -- much more than the Dems, who have so many ignorant goofballs, radicals, divisive anarchists, and lowlifes, but we keep ending up with the low IQ winners.
Even with all the many low IQ and goofball Dems, they can still find and elect high IQ winners such as Bill Clinton and Obama.
What's the deal?
Do a lot of the R base not trust not relate to the smarter candidates?
Again -- leftist hate-monger trolls please move on to the next thread

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov
The circumstances that led to Trump winning were really a sort of "perfect storm". No one took Trump seriously which is why he was able to win. If Trump had been taken seriously from the get-go he could have been taken down.
Trump is brilliant. Just because he talks in simple terms so people no loud and clear what he is talking about does not mean that he is not a brilliant man.
His middle of the night poetic Tweet's are more brilliant and informative than Democrats researched, ivy-league English major prepared speeches that the liberals give to politicians to perform in front of the cameras with.
Liberals are fixated on showing how cultured, educated and complicated they are.
I love when liberals try to act all smart and start losing elections because they sound so arrogant when they communicate.
Bill Clinton is a brilliant man who spoke fairly simply. Donald Trump is like that also, brilliance that knows when to talk simply so everyone knows where he stands like a true leader.
Donald Trump is a brilliant communicator, brilliant businessmen, brilliant at negotiating, brilliant at sales, brilliant at policy, brilliant at making the opposition look silly.
Incredible, how liberals question the intelligence of Donald Trump.
Donald Trump's early morning Tweet's are more brilliant compared to the Democrats ivy-league prepared scripts that they read in front of the cameras.
I never related to Trump (I supported Kasich and also liked Rubio and Rand).
I think your premise might be a bit flawed.
#1 Trump won the primary because some polling suggested that more than 2/3rds of Republican voters felt betrayed by the Republican Party - and Trump was a wrecking ball promising to tear crap down in the party and elsewhere.
#2 Working backwards the Republican candidates were: Trump (who won as anti-establishment), Romney (who is smart), McCain (who is smart enough), GWBush (well....I think he won more because he had the name and connections), Dole (who is fine), Bush Senior (who was smart).....that really isn't a bad list...you only have two people to seriously question on intelligence and they had "reasons" that they won, whether or not those reasons were good reasons.
