Hillary May Just Be Dumb
American Thinker ^ | September 3, 2015 | Bruce Walker

Posted on 09/03/2015 4:58:23 AM PDT by Zakeet

Hillary is losing her party's presidential nomination to a man who is not even a Democrat and to another man who has not yet entered the race. How can a candidate who began with such an enormous edge that twelve months ago she was deemed "inevitable" have fallen so far? The usual explanation is that the Clintons are too secretive, too paranoid, and too much like lawyers.

Consider another possibility: Hillary may be dumb.

[Snip]

Hillary's undergraduate degree was in political science, a major that requires nothing more of a student than slavish aping of the radical leftist positions of one's professors. Her admission to Yale Law School was during the heyday of affirmative action, when schools were desperate to find young women to balance the gender quotas.

The jobs Hillary had out of law school were purely ideological positions, first as a staff attorney for the so-called "Children's Defense Fund" and as a member of the impeachment inquiry staff of the House Judiciary Committee at the time of Watergate. Hillary then tried to become a lawyer in the District of Columbia and took the bar exam for that jurisdiction. She failed, despite the fact that two thirds of those who took the exam passed.

[Snip]

Since being first lady, what has Hillary done? She was elected almost by default as a Democrat to the Senate from New York, a state that last elected a Republican to the Senate in 1992, and then as Obama's secretary of state. Her books, of course, are ghostwritten, and her board memberships over the last few decades are meaningless gestures to the wife of a powerful husband. Hillary has shown in her life no serious intelligence at all.

“Hillary May Just Be Dumb”

That is such BS. The Clinton’s never do anything without a reason. This server was setup just before she became Secretary of State. If you don’t think that was related I’ve got a bridge to sell.

Bingo! I have always thought she wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. She couldn’t pass the Bar exam without cheating behind closed doors in AK, and she has absolutely no ability to learn retail politics.

And I think she drinks a lot. I’m sure that doesn’t help.

I’d peg Hillary right in the middle of the Bell Curve. I doubt Obama could break 550 on the math section of the GRE’s. Bill Clinton by far the smartest of those left wing aholes.

How can she be dumb ?
She made $50,000 in cattle futures just by reading the WSJ

Hillary is just a screw-up. She screws everything up - like her husband’s Presidency with her flawed advice in the Paula Jones case, HillaryCare, the 2008 Presidential campaign, Libya, server-gate...

It’s inevitable that she will continue to screw-up. That’s just her nature.

The money shot: "Why would we suspect that Hillary would be the exception to the process of leftism dumping hapless mediocrities on America after pronouncing these people smart?" Sound like anybody else?

Hillary has never had an original idea. She is still regurgitating the Leftist vomit she ingested in college. She once stated that Michael Lerner was an important influence on her. For your edification, google that specious “rabbi” and see what she learned from him. With Hillary as president, Israel is toast, but then, so are the rest of us.

No, no. Remember, if you repeat the lie over and over it becomes the truth. So, repeat after me: Hillary is the smartest woman in the world. Hillary is the smartest woman in the world. Hillary is the smartest woman in the world. Never mind. It just doesn’t work. Hillary’s dumber than a rock. Apologies to rocks everywhere.

“The Former Twelfth Lady is *many* things but dumb ain’t one of them.She’s a psychopath...pure and simple.”

She definitely is a psychopath - but she is clearly not as smart as she has convinced some to believe. She failed one of the rare objective tests in her life - the DC bar. Not exactly one of the harder bar exams.

Beyond the many examples given of her criminal behaviour, one that she appears to have gotten away with is when Web Hubbell went to jail for billing discrepancies. At the time I recall at least one of the primary cases involved had to do with intellectual property. If you can find a Martindale-Hubbell listing for the Rose Law firm while Hillary was there - look for partners that claim intellectual property as one of their areas of practice. Only one partner level person lists such expertise - and you got it, it ain’t Web Hubbell, and it is the one and only Hillary. Someone must not have been able to connect the dots very well, as there is no way she was not complicit in whatever went on with that case.

I see many on this thread say "Dumb? No chance." Well , can anyone hint at an instance where she showed more than mediocre intelligence? I mean, not some statement that was written for her, or some strategy that was not suggested by Bill or some underling, but any glimpse of "Smartest woman in the world" evidence.

Just because the press is in thrall with her smarts (or her, ahem, toned arms), because they like her husband, is NOT evidence.

Mediocre intelligence doesn’t equal being dumb...

Hillary is far more lazy than dumb...

I think it does when you are Secretary of State. Maybe not as a gardener or house painter, or even First Lady, but Senator, or President should move the scale a little IMHO. Unless, as I asked in my first post, you can give me a clue to something, anything the she has done that shows more intelligence than your average house cat. (Not to demean house cats).
