The poster said “intelligent” not “successful”. I can name several “successful” politicians I would never, ever call intelligent.

- sanitycheck 3y agoI think you want "intelligent" to mean "ethical". Those politicians are definitely intelligent, they've devised a successful strategy to gain power. You could argue a successful sprinter doesn't need high intelligence, but politics is all about it.
