The Democrats May Have Lost...but They're Still Smarter than You
American Thinker ^ | Feb 2, 2020 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 02/02/2020 5:46:52 AM PST by upchuck

Reason’s Jim Lundgren responded with an analysis that shows Trump supporters are actually smarter than their opponents. We didn’t need this analysis,  actually, since the House Democrats this week nailed this point.

Ace of Spade Headquarters accurately sums up some of the Reason essay: 

On the verbal ability test (WORSDUM) not surprisingly the median number of vocabulary questions correct was the same for both Clinton and Trump supporters [snip] The mean verbal ability score for Trump supporters was 6.15 words correct, while the mean verbal ability score for Clinton supporters was 5.69 correct, a difference of nearly half a question on a 10-question test. This moderate difference is statistically significant at <0005.

Proof of democrat intelligence inferiority is in the video of Pocahontas telling a cheering IOWA crowd of democrats, she wants to get rid of the Electoral College.

Think about it.

Lol

While it may boost the ego to have someone tell you that ‘we’ somehow are smarter than ‘them’, in the end it only leads to further division of the American people.

And the MSN made Bernie unelectabe over the past 3 weeks by covering up Project Veritas’ exposes on Bernie’s staffers extolling the virtues of gulags, etc.
No one should mention them until after Bernie gets the nomination.

True that. And those who need to demonstrate how superior they are to others (ex. Don Lemon) instead demonstrate their insecurity.

A large segment of DemoRats aren’t dumb. They choose to be willfully blind to truth and arrogantly stupid. Did that intelligent lecture about the Constitution and impeachment criteria by professor Dershowitz change any Democrat minds? DemoRats throw truth and factual criteria to the streets like litter to get their agendas forwarded.

Yup, but Rodham married Bill, otherwise we'd never know her name. So there's a bit of clever thinking there. Although . . . she did try to go back to Rodham-Clinton for about 20 minutes or so.

I remember someone once asking "who is the better musician? A classically trained pianist who cannot improv, a jazz whiz who can't read music, or a full-of-energy illiterate punk rocker?"

I want my electrician to mend the faulty wiring, my accountant to keep me in line with the IRS, and my professor to educate me. I don't need my plumber to quote Jefferson, or my professor to fix my garbage disposal.

The intellectuals who call me stupid want me riled up so I can't see them rob me.

The liberal elites have always seen conservative as idiots and rubes. Remember Obama’s bitter clingers and Hillary’s deplorables? Ironic that liberal icons like Greta Thunberg and many of the Hollywood elites are high school dropouts.

Clinton supporters score significantly lower on verbal ability (5.69 correct) than the rest of the public combined (5.98 correct).

Why is this surprising? Look at the demographics of the two groups.

Well said, DB.

There are many forms of intelligence and even more of expertise.

None change the basic fact that all men are created equal.
