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
For starters, I don't think you understand what an IQ test actually is, which is ironic.
Being able to talk well, and having a high IQ are two completely different things. My brother in-law who has a masters in engineering from UCLA probably has a higher IQ than some attorney/politician like Ted Cruz, but being that he's socially awkward and talks with a lisp, I doubt anyone would ever elect the guy President of the United States.
For what it's worth, I would bet my left nut that Ben Carson had the highest IQ on that stage. I'm not saying he was the smartest person on that stage or was even close to the best choice, but I bet his brain is like a computer in certain aspects, which is what it takes to rock a high IQ.
Trump is 71 years old and still pretty sharp compared to the average bear. If you listen to interviews with him from just 15 years ago, he was a lot sharper though. Being that he majored in economics at an Ivy league university in a time when professors were far more brutal and their was no such thing as the Internet, I'm going to say that Trump was at one point a pretty smart guy. At this point he's more like Reagan in that he no longer has the smarts to carry out his visions on his own merit, but he's really good at surrounding himself with good people. That's how the guy became a billionaire in the first place. He's a world class general contractor with good instincts. And don't give me any of that bankruptcy BS. The guy has been far more successful than your typical business man.
OP you are complaining about low IQ presidents when people elect representatives like Hank Johnson? Seriously? I don't even think Trump believes Guam will tip over.
The left nominated two Clintons, and Obama.. Not sure they have any ground to judge..
/thread end
Born in 59 and, in my opinion Obama was, beyond any doubt the best president of my time, second only to Bill Clinton. Although I did lose respect for Clinton when he held onto the lie,AFTER it was confirmed he had “sexual relations” with Ms. Lewinski, I still admired his “other” principles.

Trump is a genius and would crush the last Dim President in an IQ battle. George W was average intelligence.
