How Dumb is Donald Trump?

I still can't believe that after he got himself all tied up in knots taking on the Khan family after the Democratic convention that he did it again, going after Alicia Machado. When Hillary brought that up, all he needed to do was say, "That was 20 years ago, and some unfortunate things were said that I now regret. I'm glad she has been successful since then. But what's important is what's going on now in this country..." and then go back to his talking points. That would have put an end to it.

But, no, he has to keep bringing it up day after day and digging his hole deeper and getting Newt Gingrich and Corey Leandowski involved as well. And now, he's bringing up Bill Clinton's infidelities (he and Newt can probably match Clinton babe for babe).

The next debate is one of those citizen forums where the audience will ask him and Hillary questions. I'm just waiting for him to blow up when someone in the audience challenges him on anything. And, if they don't, I'm willing to bet that Hillary's got one or two other people lined up that she can bring up the same way she brought up Machado.

You might want to read chapter 4 of Malcolm Gladwell'a Outliers.

I read it a log time ago. What was the topic of chapter 4?

Its about personal intelligence, It profiles a man with a very high IQ who was academically unsuccessful, and Robert Oppenheimer, who despite having attempted to murder someone and having numerous sketchy friends, was chosen by Gen. Groves to head the Manhattan Project.

Ah, yes. Neither are really outliers, unfortunately. One of my Boise Mensa friends never did well is school. He's now a worm farmer.
