Is Mike Pence really as dumb as he acts? [View all]

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.
