Well, I will give Hillary credit for being an expert schemer. That takes a certain amount of intelligence....or maybe cunning is the right word.
None of the "great geniuses" that Dems have offered up for scrutiny over the years were nearly as smart as they were purported to be.
Remember Carter? He was a "nuclear physicist" according to some things I read when he was running for pres. That was a lie proffered by some liberal nitwits. He wasn't anything of the sort. Just another liberal screwball.
These Dems aren't necessarily morons. Just not nearly as smart as their pushers said they were. And some were guilty of bigger sins such as dishonesty and corruption.
Rule of thumb: when lib media types push some political person or person behind a lib agenda, they always have "genius" level intelligence.
Conservative pols or other people in high positions are always dunces and fools.
The reverse is usually true.
