I didn't get any impression of his thinking he was "not the sharpest knife in the drawer" I inferred that from a couple of things. He mentioned that he got good grades in school even though he wasn't the smartest kid in the class. He also repeatedly explained his success in terms of working hard. People who take pride in hard work in areas that don't require manual labor usually recognize that they're compensating for a shortfall in intellect, in my experience. I wasn't trying to put him down. I was quite impressed with how comfortable he seemed to be in his own shoes. That's a rare quality in people in positions of power and men in general. He came across as someone who is introverted and introspective and has put considerable effort in reconciling who he is with what is required for success. I identify with and respect that. He seemed like someone who would be a good colleague, neighbor, and friend. My personal preference is that Supreme Court Justices have a particularly keen intellect. I prefer that quality in presidents, as well. The Rep powers that be apparently don't think it's so important. Karen
