He's evil, conniving, duplicitous, greedy, and an ass kisser. But dumb? No. Having no morals or conscience results in "things" like JD and TACO.

If he was intelligent he would be a Democrat. He’s just another redneck running on his emotions.

Note that Vance was wiping the front of his shirt off from a salsa stain as he was making these comments.
