And "smarter" got him...what, exactly? Debating champion at Princeton. A 2-9 record before the (conservative) Supreme Court, a career as a Bush bureaucrat, and a Senate term with zero achievements (except support for Obama on TPA).
I don’t know about the debate championships.
But his record before the supreme court,
Medellin case win
Mojave dessert Cross Win
Texas Ten Commandments Win
Under God in the Pledge Win
DC VS. Heller Win
That is five wins three more than you claim.
You mean the one to two years working as a mid level Bush FTC employee. The one that he then left and was glad he got out when he did.
The senate where he was in a dem senate for two of those years, and then spent time trying to do what he promised he would and garnered the hatred of the Repuublican leadership.
Where he helped stop amnesty, don’t believe me ask Jeff Sessions, were he shut the government down trying to stop ObamaCare, shining the light of day on the Lies of Mitch McConnell.
That is a pretty productive senate term so far to me.
