I wasn't talking about the beauty pageant. it's been my stance throughout this thread that her background is irrelevant in terms of both informing us of her intelligence or lack thereof. the only thing we have to go on is how we interpret her behavior in front of the camera.
I was responding to your point that at the end of it all, she's been a winner
my point is that actually where it matters to me, she lost
i.e., I only know about her because she ran as a VP candidate and so the bottom line for me is that she is not a proven winner
unfortunately for her, people tend to remember the shit you fail at rather than the things you succeed at doing.
