The Smartest Posters on Atlas (in my humble opinion)

[LAKISYLVANIA]

Most people are smart. If you know politics that well, you're smart. But maybe it's more about who's more "sane" than others. You can have smart people who use their intellect in a bad way, like Trump does. I believe he has a IQ of 150 but he uses his intellect in a bad way.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Any list that omits Al is invalid by definition.

Who the heck is that?

Yeah, who

Lmao.

This is why Atlas is in decline.

[Sir Mohamed]

If Mr. Trump was a poster, he'd be the stablest genius in the forum, that's for sure

Your estimate is very close to mine. He's a 150-170. However, I believe that Trump is using his intellect for the greater good.

Glad to hear from two IQ experts on the subject. Where did you guys learn to estimate this pseudoscience?

NYCMM, you seem like a decent guy, but a little humility would go a long ways.

Oh, come on.  You said "great minds recognize other great minds".  The implication there is clear.

RI is right.  If you were a little less arrogant, people would take what you write a lot more seriously.

Lmao you guys saying Trump is smart, Dick Cheney wuz the smartest of them all!!!

Atlas, yourself included, already takes me more cerialously than I expected.

By the way for every 'Rockefeller Republican' like you who converted Dem because of le orange man, there are at least two Dems who #WalkedAway because of the legitimately dangerous American left.

I'm no friend of extremes on either the left or the right.  But after what the right has become, I'll take my chances with the left.  The choice is not always between good and bad; sometimes it's between bad and worse, and this is often a more significant choice.

That statement of your looks very reminiscent of this :

“For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.”

Yup, unfortunately for Chucky schmucky Schumer, he was wrong. But a fellow New Yorker (me) was right. That's just the way it works sometimes.

The right has basically become saner, more effective, and more caring for the commoner.

I was a registered Republican for quite a few years.  I voted for Gerald Ford in 1976.  I supported Howard Baker in 1980 until he dropped out, then switched to John Anderson.  Show me a prominent Republican today who's as moderate as any of those three.

Not trying to argue here, but isn't Anderson a liberal and not a moderate? Which means that technically if somebody finds a moderate republican these days, they would be more moderate than Anderson, since he was on the left. However, even I know you are right about Ford

Actually, in his early career Anderson was considered one of the more conservative members of the House, but moved leftward on social issues over time.  He remained conservative on fiscal issues, though.  By the standards of today's Republicans he'd probably be considered a liberal, but I doubt that anyone in that era would have called him one.  I'd agree that he was more to the left, at least on social issues, than either Ford or Baker.

So he was a moderate after all, just more one way depending on the subject? Alright, thanks for clearing that up.
