'Hillary's brainpower is highly overrated': Trump opens new line of attack on Clinton and recalls she FAILED the bar exam in Washington
Hillary Clinton failed to pass the bar exam in D.C. after graduating from Yale Law School She has spun the shortcoming as a happy indication at the time that she should follow Bill Clinton to Arkansas Donald Trump pulled the episode into the news Monday with two tweets In one he said her 'brainpower is highly overrated' Donald Trump has opened up a new line of attack on Hillary Clinton, writing Monday on Twitter that her intellect is 'highly overrated' – and recalling, correctly, that she once failed the Washington, D.C. bar exam.
'Does anyone know that Crooked Hillary, who tried so hard, was unable to pass the Bar Exams in Washington D.C. She was forced to go elsewhere,' his tweet read.
'Crooked Hillary's brainpower is highly overrated.Probably why her decision making is so bad or, as stated by Bernie S, she has BAD JUDGEMENT,' Trump added.

Probably because she couldn’t figure out a way to cheat.
I thought she was the world’s smartest woman???
with her brain damage and deteriorating health from parkinson’s, she’s nothing more than a corrupt puppet.
A clean, articulate Negro also gave the impression he was smart.
The only thing Hillary has ever shown any competence at is covering up you husbands multiple rapes and smearing his victims.
Good number of folks fail the bar on their first try... I believe the average of folks who take the bar and pass is about 60-70% range.... depending on state etc... So 30-40% of those who take it fail.
So, not sure if this says much about anything, but can be some good red meat I guess for the tit for tat side of things.
Has anyone mentioned she was fired for lying when working on Watergate gig?
Michael Medved will be objecting strenuously to these attacks on his former classmate Hillary, whom he seems to admire greatly. Unlike the unwashed Trump rabble that he despises.
Michelle Obama AND BHO gave up their law license.
Michelle allegedly had been investigated by the bar and decided to ‘voluntarily’ give up her license rather than face public disbarment.
Is Hillary currently licensed? I know Bill had to resign the bar because he lied under oath about Monica and the BJ.
The issue isn’t even “brainpower” but wisdom. The history of Abraham Lincoln was pretty spotty too, before his presidential bid succeeded.
The issue is not a DULL Hillary but a FOOLISH Hillary.
Passage rate for top schools is 80 to 90%.
The thing NOT being discussed is Hillary created an alternate reality where the voluntarily gave up some high paying D.C. job to go work for the poor.
In fact, she couldn’t pass the bar. Thus, no job in D.C. and tucked tail back to Arkansas.
I’ve read that she even failed the Arkansas one twice, before Bill finally helped her pass. Don’t know if it is true.
Obviously the major search engines would try to suppress such confirmation if it is available from a ‘creditable source’
Hillary’s lies should have revealed this. Her lies are stupid, though perhaps also reveal a compulsion to lie.
Again, as I said, red meat for the tit for tat, but I don’t think this is much of anything else.
Another Hillary lie? There are so many, if folks are motivated by her lies about Benghazi, and her Email servers, this isn’t going to sway em.
Average pass rates are between 60 and 70% for the bar.. top schools may have better performance, but fact she failed the bar in and of itself... not really much there.
Red meat for the advocates, but not much else.
Meh. As already noted, the failure rate for the Bar exam is pretty high; plenty of others have failed, and I’ve read elsewhere that the failure rate for first-timers is quite a bit higher, so a good chunk of that “pass” rate is from folks coming back for another shot.
This isn’t the topic to use against Hillary, because many reputable lawyers have also failed that exam, and gone on to be successful. The topic(s) to hit her on are her expulsion from the Watergate trial for ethics violations and lying, her highly questionable history in the AR governor’s mansion and the White House, including the Rose Law Firm, Whitewater, Cattle Futures profits, the White House travel office, the FBI files fiasco, Hillarycare, The “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”, Bimbo eruptions (and the double standard implied by her subsequent remarks about rape victims), flying ashtrays, mistreatment of her protective details, and so on. There’s plenty of meat available without having to try to make a mountain out of a bar exam molehill.
But patience and finagling eventually worked out for her... and Bill brought Hillary to the White House and, had it not been for Obama’s superior magic, she would probably have been our president now.
If one does not pass on the first try, what is the drill there. Does one study another year and then retake it?
Two comments on this. I’ve always maintained that any second year law student should pass the bar on the first try. All you have to do is read the cases. There’s no excuse for it if you paid any attention. There’s nothing from the third year on the bar exam.
Second, can you imagine how much easier the bar exam would have been in 1970 or so than it is now? The absurdities of the ACLU and Warren Burger and the explosion in regulatory and administrative law, environmental law, employment law - none of that had even happened yet ! She had to know property, contracts, torts, civil procedure and ConLaw. She frigs up everything she touches because, while devious, she’s not innately smart.
It makes her below average. That’s not a bad thing, per-se, but within the context of what is happening today it just gives a better perspective.
