Remember when Dan Quayle was the dumbest Republican we had to deal with?

1. Poor Danny

We treated him very, very badly. We rejected him because we thought he wasn't smart enough, then we elected GW Bush. Twice! Quayle must be resentful. If he grabs an AK-47 and goes crazy in the Safeway produce section, I will totally understand.

7. He's rich enough not to give a shit.

His wife was really scary.

11. Marilyn Qualye

her 'family values' stuff during the 1992 campaign was scary.

2. Trump makes Quayle look like a Rhodes Scholar

3. OUTSTANDING...GREAT POINT..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! K AND R. nt.

[Curmudgeoness]

4. I remember.

And I remember that he didn't have a chance in hell to get elected because of how dumb he was, or at least how dumb he was perceived to be.

Today, he would be the smartest candidate in the clown car.

5. Next to the current occupants of the Klown Bus

Danny-boy almost looks like Steven Hawking.

The mind shrivels at that thought.

6. Compared to the current crop

Quayle is a Mensa candidate

8. K&R n/t

9. Trump looks like he should be a pro wrestler.

But he'd never make it. Pro wrestlers have more sincerity and credibility.

[Jack Rabbit]

10. That was a very, very long time ago . . .

[niyad]

12. what a truly depressing thought.

[Kingofalldems]

13. He's a freaking MENSA member compared to the GOP clown car.

[Loryn]

14. Tomatoe!

I never dreamed it could get worse.

I feel like such a fool.

[StevieM]

15. Palin was hands down the dumbest high profile national candidate in modern times.

Bush and Quayle are both geniuses compared to her. Trump is closer to her level of stupidity, but not quite there.

I actually think that Bush was a smarter man than Quayle.

Does anyone remember what Quayle said when asked what he would do if the president died and he had to take over? He said he would pray.

[Lucky Luciano]

16. Good one! nt
