Well this sounds good except that everyone I know who is voting Trump has one or more college degrees.
On the down side of Charlie Murray’s theory, since elites spurn their secretaries these days and marry the lawyer down the hall, they end up with a woman who looks like Hillary and a daughter who looks like Chelsea. The uglification of America!
IOW, Obama made Trump possible.
Sooo, I’m sensing that good ol’ Niall is a Belmont guy and I, and others here are denizens of Fishtown. Do I have that right?
What a crock of Obama.
Now there is some crap! The ones that went to Harvard and Yale have created the mess we are in. Going to an elite university often means you paid excessively high tuition to get indoctrinated with PC crap and still came out ignorant of reality.
Funny. Just yesterday watched Charles Murray discussing this book on Uncommon Knowledge:

It’s all us ignernt white trash hillbillies who support Trump, you see.
All one has to do to see where the intelligence is, is to view the voters in the heavily democratic districts. Its where all the geniuses vote according to the democrats who seem to say they have a monopoly on intelligence.
Why news from China Newspaper?
Everyone should read Coming Apart and Murray’s other works, but I would point out that Trump leads among college educated white men by double digits in some polls, so the idea that he only appeals to Fishtown is wrong. Moreover, I believe that a more disciplined candidate, i.e., someone who doesn’t shoot himself in the d!ck at every opportunity, would recapture the support of most college educated white women using Trump’s brand of white populism.
Yahoo article. Funny how they do not have any articles on the corrupt democrats that have resulted in millions of deaths worldwide from their crazy policies over the years.

Most of my friends are college educated, fully employed and economically comfortable. I don’t have any rich friends, but I also don’t no anyone who lives in ‘Fishtown’. We are ALL enthusiastically supporting Donald Trump!
You have the DC elite, screwing over America for their own gain. They get your vote, head to DC and do nothing to help. They throw out niceties, platitudes and promises that consistently fail.
A huge portion of the population is sick of it.
Enter Trump.
I think he didn’t quite get the divide right.
On one side is
(1) government employees,
(2) university faculty and employees (which because of student loans are basically government employees),
(3) transnational managers of supra-national corporations,
(4) blacks as a racial bloc,
(5) 2/3 hispanics as a racial bloc,
(6) other immigrant populations,
(7) single white women who want Uncle Sugar Daddy,
(8) true-believer communists and socialists and
(9) other groups and persons who benefit from the status quo looting of america, e.g. many lawyers.
On the other side is:
(1) the portion of America which has significant roots in this country, including most white people and
(2) most law enforcement, military and veterans.
The problem with elitist libs is that they just think they are smarter than everyone else. Yet they make the stupidest policies that accomplish exactly the opposite what they were attempting to do. But sometimes they are just duplicitous.
What they really mean to say is “you are too stupid to get by on your own so we will figure things out for you”.
It may be too much to ask they get their comeuppance this fall. This is truly a pivotal election. If Hildabeast gets elected, we have seen the end of the USA.
This election is NOT about race. It’s about competence, honesty, the Bill of Rights and Constitution, and borders.
“The wages of decades of smugness is Trump.”
To better understand the wealthy but intellectually inadequate poseurs, referred to:
The reason the confused neurotics--many too disoriented to even understand that meaningful human progress is always a multi-generational adventure--continue to control much of the media & academia is the bullying of dissent, under the heading of what is "politically correct." This is why Donald Trump--who has thus far thrashed the bullies--is so important to the American future, and the restoration of a loyal and functional leadership.
Lots of folks with college degrees that have been downwardly mobile over the last couple of decades.
