Bernie Can't Answer Questions

Despite picking up 10 more delegates than Hillary last night, the big story was also Bernie inability to answer detailed questions:

Clearly he is more knowledgeable than Trump on governmental affairs, but lacks it business sense and fiscal sense.

The one with intellect in this race Cruz. At 44 the guy is way smarter than his age.

He doesn't have to answer questions. His base, young people who have been over indulged by their parents, is looking for a president that will do the same thing.

Bring on the free stuff.

[audiophile]

True.

Bernie is Hugo Chavez lite.

Cruz is smart to a point but he is using a lot of Nixon like tricks and he has the tendency to start saying and thinking whatever he thinks he can get past people. A couple days ago he called on the RNC to remove Kasich from the ballot in the remaining states since he can't win the nomination outright at this point. For starters the RNC cannot do that but to Cruz's supporters it sounds like a good idea so he said it anyway. Maybe he just doesn't care that this ain't possible?

I'm not an expert on that, but do you have an article that says that's impossible for RNC?

[jry]

Yeah, the "Free Crap" people do not care about answers or details. They just want free crap.

[audiophile]

I agree...

Candidates submit petitions to state election boards to get on the ballot. The RNC has nothing to do with who is on the ballot in what state.

AND, he can point his finger in a really cool way to emphasize the points he makes. Like during every word in every sentence.

Bernie Can't Answer Questions

And yet young foolish voters would vote for him.

Doesn't really matter about "government experience". The people who are in office are totally out of touch with real people. That's why they can't function doing the simplest tasks that we do every day. And yet, they are arrogant enough to believe they know everything.

And people really don't become more intelligent with age after about age 16. They just get more experience. And if they are reasonably intelligent, experience shows them that nothing is really "free". I knew that when I was seven years old. Taxpayers pay it, or they print more and more money which becomes progressively worthless, with no value added to back it up.

The brain stops growing and reaches full maturity at 24 so 16 is not some barrier to getting smarter...

An IQ of 100 (average) corresponds to a mental age of 16. IQ is statistically distributed, like just about everything else. You may get more ACHIEVEMENT mastering certain skills, and get better at taking tests, but you are no more intelligent. You certainly can MEMORIZE more things between 16 and 24, and learn the meaning of more words, but you are no more intelligent.

Yes, IQ has fallen out of favor, and achievement tests have become favored, but now education is more about what you are taught to think, than in mastering the ability to think on your own. You can certainly design a test where political thought is tested, rather than intelligence, and say that the wrong political views mean you are less intelligent. U of M designed such a test in the late 1960s. It even had a pseudo IQ labelled "Intellectual Quality", which was really testing political alignment with academic thought.

What then if your IQ is higher or lower than 100? Did you stop either after (higher) or before (lower) than 16?
