They wern't gullible (the intelligentsia at least, the voters certainly are-his re-election proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt). They know he's not especially smart, but they would be banned from the tribe if they even thought as much. You know that the Left truly does believe in the concept of thought crime. See Jason Richwine, for the most recent example. Also, Harvard students, of all people, calling for a ban on funding of the research of the type he did, merely because they're afraid of what the conclusions might show.
