Some of our smartest, deepest-thinking people, who are trained to evaluate data independently and come to their own conclusions, are our scientists.
In a 2014 poll, 85% of scientists identified as liberal. Only 1 in TWENTY scientists said they were Republicans.

It's a sign. Smart people are liberals. The GOP relies on propaganda which doesn't work well on smart people who do their own thinking.
