I certainly agree, but they overrate their intelligence. Clinton was a good speaker, but as far as Presidents go he was of mediocre intellect.
And what I find funny is, contrary to the narrative the Dems and their media create, President Bush was actually a very intelligent and accomplished man having graduated from both Yale and Harvard. But when you have the late night talk shows and a vested bias through hollywood equating a southern accent with ignorance you can make anyone fit any convenient box.
True for conservatives but not liberals. Just think of Sen. Robert Byrd of W.V., Lyndon Johnson of Texas, and Jimmy Carter of Ga. They never call them dumb. All are/were liberal Democrats.
