      1. Watching this January 1980 interview with Reagan inspired a few thoughts. First, note how breezily he discusses the idea that we should have threatened to nuke North Vietnam. Ronnie Raygun his critics called him. For good reason. https://youtu.be/lTyZAul60ok  via @YouTube

      3. Another point, especially for those of you too young to remember Reagan--he was generally considered (even by many who voted for him) as not the sharpest tool in the shed. But OMG, listen to this interview and then watch a Trump clip.

      4. Reagan sounds like a freaking rocket scientist compared to GWB, who sounds like a rocket scientist compared to Trump. This dumbing down of political discourse has been pretty one-sided...I don't discern a drop off from Carter to Clinton to Obama.

      Trump excepted, is it possible that what your picking up on has more to do with modes of discourse than intelligence? Obama spoke like a college professor, which sounds good to... people like college professors. Maybe Reagan and Bush were talking to a different audience

      Perhaps in part. But Obama sure got votes from a bunch of people who weren't college professors. And if you listen to Reagan talk about economics in this interview...well, he comes off pretty professor-y, only without the expertise part.

      I'm not saying that you can't make objective judgements about levels of knowledge or communication styles. I'm just saying that those judgements are bound to be confounded by our own styles and preferences

      You're probably right that I'm being overly naive in thinking that having demonstrable knowledge about the job one is applying for should be a significant consideration when we pick a leader.

      OK. Not sure how you got that from what I said, but that's Twitter I guess
