Going by surveys, there does exist a considerable divergence in attained education levels.

Among supporters of a certain conservative political masterpiece (name starts with T), there is a strong trend towards lack of education. Which often enough, though not always, means "stupid".

Among conservative politicians themselves, there does not seem to be such a strong correlation. Implying that they aren't uneducated, and some might be intellectualy quite capable. They have just made a choice. Some of them might be fairly depressed right now, but keeping a stiff upper lip.

Whether the masterpiece himself has made a choice or is stupid, is a good question. Judging by what's available to me, he exibits signs of fairly limited knowledge, attention, self-criticism and self-control. Whether that's due to age or other reasons, another good question. But certainly not a master strategist.
