1. Why do you equate all his 'success' at business (I guess all the bankruptcies and whatnot don't register) with supreme intelligence?

2. Assuming he has a superior business acumen, why do you insist it must transfer to all other intellectual domains?

But when he did he sure ran with it didn't he?

Hard to argue they're cherry picked when pretty much every day is a blooper reel, but w/e.

No, he mainly babbles incoherently when he's asked about things like policy. This concerns people who for some reason feel it's his job to be able to show some understanding of the issues involved. So either he's a genius who's too lazy to learn what he needs to know to do his job properly or he's an idiot who couldn't do his job properly if he tried. Take your pick.

Half of them have done this, the other half are doing exactly the opposite.

When did I say that? Every little slight does not include every big slight.

Taken in sum, his behavior reflects what is most likely a racist outlook. Go watch the 'blooper reel' as you call it and say that guy doesn't seem like a wee bit racist.

If you think that's a realistic possibility, you're in-fucking-sane. So it's nice that you say "dangerously temperamental" is an overstatement. But that's not the overall narrative being pushed in the media. The media is telling people that's a real risk.
How is that any different from any other president? People ran campaigns claiming Obama was a terrorist. If you can't stand the heat, don't run for president - you might win and have to deal with this greasy shit.

Most of us just ignore you when you do that. Why would I feel the need to defend my intellect when I'm secure about it? I don't. So, what I don't do is send a list of a dozen tweets putting you down and claiming you're part of a conspiracy against me, and that I'm like, a really really really smart person.
