Is Mike Pence really as dumb as he acts?

[Effete Snob]

Is it really possible for a person to be as dumb as he acts?

It seems like he's acting, and so I always assumed he was just acting stupid.

Now, though, I realize he might be dumber than he acts, and the reason it seems like he's acting is because he's actually trying to sound smarter than he really is!

It's like a fucking revelation. I may have found the basic theory of how dumb Mike Pence really is.

[Walleye]

1. He is dumb, he's not acting,

I can’t watch him he’s always shrugging his shoulders. Can’t figure out what that means I think it’s just a nervous tic. Shows complete lack of self-confidence

[ananda]

2. It's not an act.

...

[Chipper Chat]

3. Of course he is.

Just ask any Hoosier

[UTUSN]

4. He's a weasel.

[odins folly]

5. I'm gonna go with

Yes.

Dumber than a rock.

[leftieNanner]

7. Pence and McCarthy

Both complete idiots.

[Shermann]

6. Pandering often involves saying something known to be dumb because of the incentives nt

[Effete Snob]

11. Right

I thought a lot of it was that he’s pandering to very stupid people.

[anciano]

8. Hmm...

My magic8ball says: "Signs point to yes"

[imanamerican63]

9. Does Mother wipe his nose every time he utters a word?

Yep!

[Brainfodder]

10. I don't want to research him, but he was a radio personality before Gov of IN?

It's out there....

[Effete Snob]

12. That can't be true

I mean “personality” is literally in the job description.

A jury wouldn’t convict him of having one.

[Groundhawg]

13. YES, he is that dumb.

[Blue Owl]

14. The Fly is waiting for debate night....

[CANADIANBEAVER69]

15. There is a photo of him touching some expensive

piece of a rocket, I believe, right below or beside the sign that says "Please do not touch" He is that dumb.

[Effete Snob]

22. Ah, a classic

[CANADIANBEAVER69]

26. Yeah, that's the one

I shake my head every time I see it.

[bahboo]

16. I lived in Indiana for 18 years and I know the type....

furrow the brow, speak slowly and deliberately so as to appear intelligent and thoughtful. But...dumb as fuck...

[mercuryblues]

17. I think his religious beliefs have rotted his brain cells.

Trump pumped up the crowd to kill him on J6. Pence not only defends trump, he sees nothing wrong with it.

[BOSSHOG]

18. WHY DO YOU THINK TRUMP PICKED HIM AS A RUNNING MATE?

Yeah, the Christian vote. But the don didn’t want no knowledgeable VP snooping around.

[Effete Snob]

19. Manafort pushed hard for him

[BOSSHOG]

20. Manafort. The conservative value poster boy for integrity

[Whiskeytide]

21. Manafort wanted him as a stand-by patsy. He was ...

… the perfect idiot to have around in case you needed a fall guy if your criming came to light. I’ve believed this for some time.

[BOSSHOG]

23. You are right My Friend

Stand by Patsy. That should be high on pence’s resume. Trumps crimes came to light and magas wanted to hang the patsy. I believe pence is stupid in a conveniently naive way but certainly not acting. Trump can act, pence can pretend to care.

[Raine]

24. No he's not as dumb as he acts, he's much much dumber.

The act he puts on is him trying to make himself come off as smart. Big fail, he's really really dumb and totally clueless.

[budkin]

25. Absolutely

He used to be an AM talk radio host just like Dan Patrick in Texas.
