4. Ron Reagan made a career of getting himself underestimated.
His victims included Jimmy Carter, Carter's team, and quite famously Clark Clifford.

"Amiable dunce" was the Clifford comment. But he was the fool at that table.

Right-brain arguments appeal to tone-of-voice which has little to do with evidence and logic. The likes of Reagan and Perry are adept at fooling 51% and more of the electorate.

Wade?” -Rick Perry, botching his attack lines against Romney at a GOP debate
