Where the  would Gilmore go?

[Maxwell]

vocabulary is a pretty poor measure - Scott Walker's vocabulary was a lot better than Trumps but Walker was obvious 100x more dumb. Similarly Bobby Jindal and Rick Perry sound similar, but you can pretty easily guess which one was a Rhodes Scholar and which one went to boring state college.

Are we talking actual raw intelligence? Or Atlas Intelligence, a basis of whether or not their social-issue panties are ruffled by the candidates views? If the former..

1. Ted Cruz
2. Ben Carson
3. Bobby Jindal

5. Hillary Clinton
6. Rand Paul

How is Trump the dumbest? I don't understand that at all.

Anybody who thinks that this kind of hairdo looks good has to be pretty dumb.
Also, look at his vocabulary, as has been posted before

Do you really think that Trump speaks the way he speaks just because? If you are you just aren't paying attention.
