My first chance to vote was when Gerald Ford was President. Since that time I don't remember a Republican candidate or President who wasn't thought to be dumb by the Left, while people like the Clintons and the Obamas were the smartest people on the planet. The only reason dumb people like Trump get elected is because even dumber people like us get duped into voting for him. And Democrats, as smart as they are, still can't figure out why they keep losing elections when they hold their opponents in such contempt.

[Rastus]

No lower form of scum on earth than a NeverTrumper. The man is fighting alone for what we’ve wanted done for decades, and these pukes pile on. They never were conservative and were quite happy to advocate for things they were confident the Democrats would defeat.

[HokieMom]

Wow, Townhall.com is a shadow of its former self if it’s running columns like this.

[Migraine]

Well, he outsmarted all Repubs amd dems, and the press. Well, when someone who outsmarts you is dumb, what does that make you?

[ForYourChildren]

Dumb, huh. And these are just his golf courses.

[867V309]

hey Steve Chapman: I may be slow, but I’m ahead of you.

[TXBlair]

Townhall? I thought that was a conservative site. Who is this Steve Chapman turd? Speaking of dumb, I feel dumb for having read his article. What a jackass.

[Chgogal]

Well Steve, Trump is smarter than The Smartest Woman in the World, Hillary Clinton. So sad and too bad for you, Steve.

FYI, Steve is the reason I don't subscribe to the Chicago Tribune. He is such a whiny punk.

[Mr. Mojo]

Trump is undeniably brilliant at ferreting out globalist Rats (like Chapman and Town Hall in general) in conservative garb in both politics and the media.

[McCarthysGhost]

So in order for Trump to cover up his intellectual deficiency he became a billionaire and President of the United States? I wonder what he could do if he was actually smart?

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Right - he's a billionaire married to a beautiful former model, he was a highly successful TV personality, he outwitted and out-thought a bunch of establishment Republicans in the primaries and made fools out of the pundits and the Clintons, and has now become the most powerful man in the world.

But hey, some nobody with a column in some web site no one reads thinks he's a fool, so it must be true.

[Robert DeLong]

Just another Democrat or Never-Trumper idiot who thinks he is smarter than everyone else. My guess is Steven would be blown away by President Trump, but he has nothing to prove to this low life sum:

Steve Chapman is a columnist and editorial writer for the Chicago Tribune. His twice-a-week column on national and international affairs, distributed by Creators Syndicate, appears in some 60 papers across the country. Steve Chapman came to the Tribune in 1981 from the New Republic magazine, where he was an associate editor. Steve Chapman has contributed articles to several national magazines, including Slate, The American Spectator, National Review and The Weekly Standard. Born in Brady, Texas, in 1954, Steve Chapman grew up in Midland and Austin. Steve Chapman attended Harvard University, where he was on the staff of the Harvard Crimson. He graduated with honors in 1976 and later did graduate work at the University of Chicago. Steve Chapman has three children and lives in suburban Chicago.

[Fresh Wind]

Please, Ms. Chapman, tell us were we can go to see the Chapman Tower, a Chapman golf course, or a Chapman international hotel.

After that, THEN we can talk about how stupid Trump is.

[JohnyBoy]

The fact that our legal system can let people off the hook for the president exercising his free speech confirms that it's a 3ed world garbage system. Every judge, lawyer, and prosecutor who enable it should be exiled for crimes against the American People.

[Theophilus]

President Trump has a genius for being underestimated.

[Boomer]

Well, it’s obvious President Trump is 100 times smarter than this guy, Steve Chapman.

He pretty much got everything wrong but the spelling and syntax. A “D” for effort. An “F” for facts. But an “A” for spelling which works out to a solid “D-”.

Time for Chapman to find another line of work. He sucks at this one. Maybe he could try running for President to prove he is as smart as he thinks he is.

[dowcaet]

The president is stupid? He’s so stupid he’s running rings around Democrats, the MSM, and NeverTrumper Repukes pretty much by himself. Mr. Chapman wants a return to the status quo where both parties submit totally to the Deep State. That’s the reason our country is in the mess it is in today. It’s Mr. Chapman who is the stupid one here.

[Nifster]

Oh sure. A guy who goes to Wharton and has real life success is dumb

This is exactly why journalists couldn’t understand why Trump won

[trebb]

Seems like Steve “Chapped-ass-man” is so dim he doesn’t recognize when someone is so much smarter than he has the brains to even imagine....

[iontheball]

Another egotistical, little man who looks upon a true achiever with nothing but scorn, rage and envy as a means to rationalize away his own under achievements in life. To all these clowns, the question needs to be asked: If you are so damn smart, why is Donald Trump President and you are just a cheap-shot backbencher?

[stockpirate]

Most conservative if not all GOPe are socialists, that includes Mitch, Ryan and ALL the republican leadership.
