I think it was more which candidate appears the most intelligent.


Which is a stupid rear end question, because all of them could appear as equally intelligent if they applied Rick Parry Smart Guy Glasses (tm)

That was the question, but if I ask you which person is smarter, this guy you like, these three guys you agree with, or these eight strangers, I suspect it will be very difficult to tease the answer to the asked question apart of the implicit question of, "which of these names are familiar to you".

If you look at the rest of the data, the top 4 from the smartest are the top 4 for honest are the top 4 for cares the most about people like you, are the top 4 for best leader, are the top 4 for 'if the vote was today, for whom would you vote'.

I'm not convinced that what you can infer from the question matches the question itself. I think we're in agreement, based on the second half of your post.

But(t) of course, so is Corey Booker.

I think the big thing for Butt is that his resume is entirely "joined the military," "is a mayor," "is gay," and "is smart." So as a result, even though he's not appreciably more intelligent than any of the other candidates, media coverage makes it seem like he is because his intelligence is literally one of four things about him that they can talk about.

If Buttigieg is a Rhodes Scholar and doesn't have a masters degree then what the hell was the point of getting a Rhodes Scholarship other than denying it to someone who'd use it simply so they can make it a line on their resume?

Edit: Apparently he used it to get a second BA. What the unholy gently caress.

I really want to see proof he speaks the languages he says he does. I don't doubt he's, say, smarter than me, but it does seem like "smart guy" is his brand and my BS alarm is just blaring on the languages thing.

Pretending to know more languages than he actually does is something that should really endear him to the common man. For instance, Trump pretends to know english.
