Do you seriously think a person could make it through medical school and not be “smart”? That’s a rhetorical question, you don’t need to answer that.
I was responding to another poster’s claim (not to you) that Rand wasn’t too smart. People can quibble about Rand’s qualifications as a viable candidate all day long...but the guy is still smart no matter what else a person thinks of him.
Yes, via affirmative action. It happens all the time.
Having the experience of knowing a number of Doctors personally, yes I KNOW they can be utter morons. Because I have had plenty of them tell me so.
