    otoh I like John Cleese’s line. He said he wanted a candidate so brilliant that he, Cleese, would be afraid to sit at the same table, lest he be proven a complete dunce.

        So what?

        I like Ed Koch’s take on different opinions. He said that if you liked him 51% of the time you should vote for hi. If you agreed with him 100% of the time you should see a psychiatrist.

        I think it’s more that today’s American politicians reel it in.

        Clinton was know as a policy wonk, and Obama would go from community organizing to the U. Chicago law school without missing a beat. Even George W. went to top schools.

        Harris could go toe to toe with the best minds out there; she tailored her responses to Donnie’s level.

        Harris is definitely no dummy.

        Neither was Biden, but he definitely lost some sharpness over the years.
