There’s a fellow over at Hannity with several thousand posts on the topic and some credentials too and he thinks that SC24 may top out with a sunspot maximum of 80 or less.
If memory serves me right, that (80) is about two border collies worth of smarts.
So the question then becomes: is the Vice President as smart as a border collie even though he lacks the dog’s better qualities?
? Hey, border collies are smart in addition to their other sterling qualities and good looks! Cost less to feed too!
