Senators are dumb. They dont get support because they are smart.
Perhaps the authorities in the United States should do an IQ check before the elections and bar anyone having an IQ of less than 80.
Politicians are stupid in most cases, but not exclusively in the sense that they have a low IQ - but to take care of themselves and their interests first, and then of those who elected them. If, on the other hand, politicians actually went for IQ testing before the election, I am afraid that the results would be devastating in that regard - and they are certainly devastating if we look at the world around us.
