3. "Dumb as two bags of rocks" is how someone who knew him as Tx Gov once said.

Dumb, of course, especially meaning very ignorant, trying to think with no there there. Or not trying at all of course.

I haven't yet met a strong conservative who also had a thirst for knowledge. A few must be out there, but profound ignorance of the rest of the world beyond what they consider their own is the usual.

Just one of a number of important reasons strong conservatives are inherently incompetent to run nations. This man ran for POTUS literally not knowing what the US is.
