    That is why decent, hardworking Americans vote Republican.

    Uhm, when did conservatives ever say the science is settled?


    That's the most anti asinine junk science statement ever..

    I didn't post it as proof, but an example. You can search for your own proof.
    But lets say your right and educated Republicans are turning into Democrats. Why do you think Uneducated Democrats are turning into Republicans?

    Since I define intelligence as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.
    I would go with the PhD..
    But of course you didn't tell us if he was a good physicist. :)

    They don't have to turn into anything. You have a fresh set of voters gradually becoming of age and some dying off at the other end. It is not like there is just a finite set of voters.

    Sorry, that’s not my take. Knowledge is a prerequisite for intellect in problem solving . They are inseparable
    . I’ve heard no one ever problem solve without remembering a history of pertinent facts. If you don’t remember your tools and background information, you can’t problem solve. A chemist needs to recall the periodic table and an auto mechanic needs to remember what each code in his scan tool represents before either can problem solve.

    No. That is NOT what the study was designed to determine.

    You have to be careful about stuff like that.

    Yes it does. It’s why one side supports higher education when the other side doesn't. Trump luvs the poorly educated.

    Then why do the ones with PHDs flee places like Detroit?

    If they where so smart why is the Democrat mayor of Detroit still in prison?

    If they where so smart why is the Democrat ex governor of Illinois still in prison?

    The purpose was to determine which news source were the best and worse. So they randomly interviewed 1185 people and asked them the nine questions. The nine questions were intended to be difficult for someone not keeping up with the news. No particular group was outstanding, but the republicans did better than both the democrats and independents. A higher percent of republicans answered each question correctly than did the democrats.

    You presented a table in which you claimed that since more democrats than republicans answered all the questions correctly, then the democrats did better. However, that ignores the rest of the democrats and republicans. What is interesting is that you can calculate the average score of the democrats and republicans from that table and the republicans had a higher average score than the democrats. Further you can calculate average score for republicans and democrats from the percent correct on each question. Using that method you get a very similar average scores. There is a slight difference due to rounding areas in the tabulation.

    Not sure I follow you, so you suggesting Democrats didn't have PHDs in places like Detroit and Illinois and didn't screw up the city of Detroit and state of Illinois?

    Seriously, you don’t know why Detroit went from a more wealthy to a poorer city and why many occupations left it ?

    And successful people. Unless they're celebrities, then it's okay.
