Rand may be “over handled by consultants” as you surmised, but stupid? ..... nope. You do realize he’s a doctor, right?
So was Gonsel.
McCain was a war hero. He is a terrible politician.
Depends on your meaning of stupid. You can be very well educated and still be stupid. Many PhDs remain horribly stupid after getting their degree. How many MDs hate guns and abandon science all in the cause of “gun control”?
Hope I do not burst your bubble, but being a doctor does not necessarily denote high IQ. Specialists, maybe, but not the rank and file.
you do realize that a specific skill or specific set of knowledge does NOT MEAN NECESSARILY that one is intelligent over all.
There are plenty of stupid doctors and lawyers ..who have a niche skillset .and thats it.
