You cannot claim that a conservative with impeccable constitutional credentials is not sophisticated. Nor can you claim that Sarah is not intellectual unless you have a limited definition of intelligence.
I appreciate your desire to label her a Davey Crockett populist lacking in East Coast sophistication and intellectualism, but she clearly is more than that.
Ultimately, you failed to recognize my sarcasm. No fault. It was not obvious. Only a leftist would be apoplectic.
Please do not be offended by my palaver. I appreciate your position.

We missed each other’s points. I don’t regard Sarah as an EASTERN, IVY LEAGUE “intellectual” or “sophisticate”.
There used to be a descriptive term, a “rough diamond” referring to a person, lacking college degrees, refined language, and tea room manners. They were wonderfully armed with “common sense”, “ethics”, “morality”, an intense “work ethic”, “loyalty”, and very often dirty hands and callouses from their hard work.
These are the people we need, but don’t have enough of.
Sarah has proven herself to be (without the dirty hands) a prime example of a “rough diamond”.
