KASIE HUNT, MSNBC: And are you smart enough to be president of the United States?"
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
If the question is Are you smart enough to get elected POTUS, that can only be answered by time.But if the question is, are you a member of Mensa, the answer is irrelevant because although there are many Mensa members, and others who would qualify but havent joined, as far as I know none of them has ever become president. Certainly none of them have been excellent presidents. Herbert Hoover, for instance, was quite intelligent but became a byword for ineptness as president. And while Jimmy Carters intelligence was unquestioned, the result of his policies were no better overall than Hoovers.
Most presidents, even great ones, have only one legacy that you could put on their headstone. Ronald Reagan checked the energy crisis, whipped inflation, got the country going again, and transcended communism. And he did all that with a hostile majority party in control of the House. I can only aspire to being adroit enough to have my intelligence compared with the man who was famously called an amiable dunce.
His response makes me wonder. He needed to swat that down with the disdain it deserved. Wonder if they’ll ask Ted Cruz that question.
You just don’t understand the nuance of his governance. CLEARLY his support of illegals, praise of Hillary!, demands to inject children, land grabs for Mexican superhighways into the heart of America, opposition to proper fencing and the rest are rock ribbed conservatism at their core. Core my foot, they are THE VERY DEFINITION of what it means to be a conservative!
Unthinking neanderthals such as yourself and the others here that can’t see the pure love of America busting forth from these unashamedly conservative actions will be the reason for the downfall of western civilization.
Clearly...CLEARLY you can find nothing REMOTELY questionable about supporting illegals with American tax dollars. CLEARLY you could find nothing remotely inappropriate about praising Hillary after she caused the deaths of Americans in Bhenghazi. So instead you simply mock that which your brain cannot comprehend.
That’s just sad...As for me?
Perry/Paul 2016. WINNING! No matter WHAT!
You realize of course by posting that many pix of Ricardo you just caused a case of the vapors in his female sycophants here...and for that matter some of the ‘males’ as well right? I wonder if Obamacare covers swooning.
lol!
Hey you never know. Considering how easily his ‘male’ thralls set aside their conservatism to excuse him, they gotta fill that void somehow. A rainbow perhaps...
Does Austin have a Castro District?
Actually sounds like he handled it well. I would have insulted her or laughed at her.
The media shill should ask Jonathan Gruber if the American people are stupid enough to vote for Obamacare.
bummp
