Adlai Stevenson III is the highest IQ presidential candidate on record— and you know what.... he lost, big time to a personable military executive who conducted Allied forces in Europe, and who also later condemned the “military industrial complex”. The very same “complex” we face much worse, today, and whom the uni-party desires to control so they can milk even more out of our pockets for their adventures in foreign policy.
True arrogance is a sure sign of deep weakness, weakness of the ego. And.. any negotiator knows that... around the world.
“True arrogance is a sure sign of deep weakness, weakness of the ego. And.. any negotiator knows that... around the world.”
So very true. Of all the vices, this is one which is the most easily manipulated, along with anger.
Yes, I remember Adlai Stevenson very well as I worked on Eisenhower’s reelection team. We soundly defeated Stevenson for the second time.
“Arrogance” is a word often misused when someone labels a person who is simply confident. Trump is supremely confident, but is not really arrogant. On the other hand, Cruz is not self confident and covers his fears with arrogance, assuming an air of superiority in everything he does. He has never been well liked, even when he was in school because he hides his insecurities behind his “holier than thou” attitude. Nothing is a greater giveaway than his “pregnant pauses” when he speaks.
