Whether or not he's smart is, I suppose, debatable, but this guy's ability to analyze and see clearly is so handicapped by his towering narcissism that the didn't see the fleet of Mack trucks headed his way. He pranced and preened and bullied his way through the primaries against contestants who didn't have a clue how to handle him- in large part because he was articulating the shit they push in a much less subtle, much cruder manner. And the MSM was fine with it. Good ratings, good revenues.
