Politicians are pretty dumb on virtually every subject. Some manage to avoid exposing themselves by consistant repetition of bland statements containing no information whatsoever (you listening, RINOmney? Obama, of course, defines this approach.)
Others try to sound like they know what they’re doing, and as long as they keep to simplton things like names and places, the MSM (the very definition of simpletons) will let this get by.
But science is way, way, way out of their ability. Heck, liberals even manage to find physicists who apparently don’t know anything about energy production.
Dimbulbs and Repulsicans - science is for the big boys and girls. Please stay out. You are NOT qualified.
It’s a predicament candidates choose to stick themselves in.
Act smart but not too smart..
As most candidates, he likely doesn’t have scientists as close confidantes and advisors.. They go with the flow, so to speak.. and if lucky, don’t drift out to sea.
