Republican radio host belittled Donald Trump's intelligence (VIDEO)

This Conservative radio host did what few Republicans are willing to do. He questioned Donald Trump's intelligence and capacity to hold complicated thought processes. Charlie Sykes did not pull any punches as he alluded to Donald Trump's defective thinking process and excoriated his unpresidential tweeting.

has opposed Trump from the beginning and continues to do so. David Frum does as well. While I do not agree with their conservative ideas, I'm impressed that they've at least continued to vocally oppose Trump. I'm sure they'd be happy with Pence, though.

Just read this.

In 2010, Sykes accused then Governor Jim Doyle of corruption, claiming that Doyle was using a trip to watch the Badgers play in the Rose Bowl for his political friends and campaign donors. PoliticFact decided to check out the claim and found Sykes' pants to be on fire.

Sykes' response to the reporter who had asked what he based his allegations on was absolutely breathtaking in its arrogance and revealed Sykes' true character:

And Sykes, like his counterpart Mark Belling did awhile back, cheerfully admits he made it up, as though that is perfectly OK:

"My ‘evidence’? Absolutely none."

Sykes went on to label his remark "an off-hand wisecrack" -- "You know, humor, hyperbole, joke."
Hilarious, huh?
