The Donald recently called out the people of Iowa,

for being really stupid, cuz they supported Ben Carson, and I tend to believe him on this one, cuz they also support Donald Trump. SO, the Washington Post, using several methods, incl They looked at four major metrics — a 2006 state IQ study, 2015 SAT scores by state, 2015 ACT scores by state and the U.S. Census’ percentage of college graduates by state., etc, rated all 50 states, and I'm SHOCKED. Not really... Just like all other rating systems, this one showed the top intelligence was concentrated Blue states, and the bottom of the barrel is (surprise!), Red states. Over a 90% correlation. Wow, who da thunk?

Believe me, in my travels as a disaster insurance adjuster, and having relatives scattered throughout the country, there is a HUGE difference in the average, obvious intelligence of people, from state to state, and the SOUTH, (base of the Repub Party) is 'off the chart', as you encounter Walmarts and grocery sores where their size blocks the aisles, and in talking with them you realize, 'most of these people never graduated high school'. Check it out, next time you're in LA, MS and esp TEXAS. Not saying they're all stupid, but they have WAY over their share, and MOST of them vote straight Republican.
