Not to worry the voters in college are too busy searching for safe spaces to get out and vote...........

You'll notice the "non-college educated" pejorative only applies to working and middle class whites who vote.

Jennifer Rubin doesn't seem bothered at all by the fact that Jeb Bush is attempting to gear his campaign to barely literate people in borderland barrios. Somehow, the fact that a good portion of his intended base of support doesn't even have a high school equivalent doesn't bother her much. Nor would she dare say that Hillary is going to win votes in many urban areas because of illiterate thugs in the inner city. But when a trade school trained white man casts a vote, that's a different story.

Show me the debt-ratio of Trump supporters vs. opponents, THEN talk to me about “smart.”

Oh yeah, and I was smart enough to become a self-made multimillionaire by age 43. And make no mistake--I paid to put MANY people through college--I don't even know how many.

Incidentally, I've dabbled in conversation on the Mensa chat lines and others as well but grew bored with the mediocrity and inanity of the postings, remarks, and ideas (although there are some delightful and highly intelligent people there, among those who are not). On the other hand, I've been a regular on Free Republic for more than 17 years, and I have never grown tired of the highly intelligent, wise, clever, astute, brilliant, and free thinking discourse here. This is where the intelligence is--much to the horror of the mediocre denizens of the "Liberal" establishment.

Snobs.

Oh, btw, I’m a female Ivy Leaguer with a graduate degree, and I support Trump.

Raise your hand if you have a degree and are at least thinking about voting for Trump. (mine’s up)

Maybe non-degreed plumbers, electricians, and small business owners

Someone should ask Rubin how having a worthless degree in fields like Communications, Women's Studies, Gay and Lesbian Studies, African American Studies, Chicano Studies, etc (which now seem to be the lion's share of college degrees) make one more fit to vote than being a plumber or electrician.

Thanks Red Steel. Nothing appeals more to lib larvae than to be told how superior they are. And since they are slipshod, ignorant, inexperienced, gullible, inferior thinkers, they fall for it.

We're of the same sign-up class; so it comes as no surprise to me that you're intelligent. We're a great group and most of the crazy ones, from that year, are gone. LOL

But seriously, the TDSer "pundits" just make stupid stuff up. They don't really know much of anything factual.

But then who said a college degree meant you had smarts.

Depends on what your major field of study was.

BS in Physics? OK, you have my attention.

BA in Political Science? BWAHAHAhahahahahahahaha! Get a real major!

Evidently College educated people don’t want...

...there to be borders around our nation
...U. S. Citizens to be favored over illegal aliens
...upwards of 30 million people to abide by the law
...anyone to stop them from having to pay the bills of illegal aliens
...regions of our nation to retain our culture, not Mexico’s
...our military to returned to superior combat readiness
...our veterans to receive better treatment
...our citizens to receive preferential treatment when it comes to jobs
...the president to ease their tax burden when they get a job
...the president to bring jobs home from overseas
...to spur the economy so jobs will be created
...to contribute toward an economy where they will have a job when they graduate
...to stop excessive government spending
...to pay down the national debt
...to prevent terrorists who hate them from coming to the U. S.
...to prevent them, their family, friends, business associates and people they admire from being killed or maimed by terrorists

I don’t like to address this for what it is, but I have worked around people with doctorates, and I can guarantee you that a degree is no proof of common sense.

The left continues to make the mistake of equating schooling with education.

They are NOT the same.

Puppeteers, already puppets of the left, ready to mobilize to create more puppets!

Redoubling their "educational" efforts to promote multi-culturalism in elementary schools. Onward! Venceramos!
