    If intellect was the prime driver of politics we wouldn't have had a Republican president since Nixon.

    On the other hand: how'd that work out?

    People look for all sorts of characteristics in a president. Intelligence is a low priority, if one at all. It's not that big a surprise: C students don't like A students in high school either.

        I thought I already explained this to you nitwits.
        And finally, if you base your view of President Bush’s intellect on a public image and caricature shaped by late night comedians, op-ed writers, TV pundits, and Twitter, is that a smart thing for you to do?

              No, no, no. This was scorn, not condescension. With condescension you try to give the appearance of caring how you're received.

                  When it comes to Gore, he came off as smarmy. Bush hadn't yet proved himself to be a bad President, and some people might've thought they were getting his father's clone in office.

                  As for Kerry, Iraq hadn't yet proven to be a complete sh**show, and so many people were still very gung ho on rooting out terrorism and Islamic everything, that at that point, they overlooked Bush's treatment of domestic issues, which still hadn't hit their trough. The worst things we remember about Bush's domestic policies didn't happen until after 2004. And Kerry simply wasn't that impressive of a candidate.

Lots of them seemed to think there was some kind of conspiracy against Bernie, and NPR was in on it. I'm a Bernie fan, but I know he isn't going to be the nominee and I sure as hell am going to vote for Hillary in the general.
                    Those idiots are a very small minority and even they will end up voting.

                        That most likely will be massively offset by demographics. The Supreme Court in my opinion is a wash on bothsides cause it will bring out both bases.
                        You have yet to be right about any thing in this election...in fact you havent even been close on one of your grand predictions. With your track record we dont need to run the election Hillary has already won in a landslide

                          Kerry had no spine that was his big problem.

                              Bull-****ing-****. Anyone with a brain knew what they were getting with W and it was exactly what we got. Hell, The Onion predicted the Iraq War the day he was inaugurated. Any narrative white-washing of "we just didn't know" is people being embarrassed they voted wrong and ****ed our country.

                                I agree that it was a tragic mistake to elect W, one for which we are still paying a price, but a lot of Dems supported that invasion. Very few stood up to the idiots playing the patriot card.
