What's your reaction to Trump's assertion that Perry should be required to submit to an IQ test.

Asked by stanleybmanly (24153points) July 31st, 2015

I was stunned by my own reaction, which was an immediate feeling of embarrassment for Perry, I’ve been puzzling over this for days

Both these guys are grossly unqualified to be leader of the free world, but I am comforted knowing neither will make the cut for the candidacy.

Maybe he just wants to show his grasp of irony?

I’d rather all the candidates take the SAT Subject Tests in US History and World History. And maybe the California State High School Exit Exam.

Or @zenvelo pass the Citizenship Test for USA

@Pachy. So you feel Trump can’t go the distance? Before he shot to the top of the polls I was prepared to agree with you. Now I’m reading republican pundits claiming that Trump’s nomination and resulting Clinton landslide will dethrone the “the house of whacko” from party dominance.

I love watching these reactionary clowns bash each other.

According to a poll cited by Rachel Maddow, even Boinie would beat a ReTrumplican. I’ve also heard that Trump might go third party.

@stanleybmanly, not gonna happen. These early polls mean very little. He’s a momentary messiah and I predict next week’s debate, if it doesn’t do him in entirely, will take those numbers way down.

It would be entirely fitting for Perry to demand the same of Trump.

I place very little value to these insanely early polls. At this point in the race, those polled tend to pick whichever name they have heard the most often in the media much more than picking who they feel would be the best candidate for the general election.

@sahID I agree. Everyone has heard of Trump. Not everyone has heard of the other candidates.

Why stop with IQ?

Why not have them all checked for a whole slew of mental disorders? Start with Trump.
