Why The 'Poorly Educated' Love Donald Trump Back

Donald Trump spent much of his election campaign raging against groups he doesn’t like; Muslims, the media, Mexicans and the rest. But there’s at least one group he’s a fan of. “I love the poorly educated!” the president-elect to be declared after pulling off a victory in the Nevada caucus of the Republican primary.

Now, an analysis of his shock election victory shows the feeling was mutual.

It was “education, not income,” that was the strongest predictor of a vote for Trump, according to the polling analyst Nate Silver.

A question from the back of the FEMA Re-Education Camp?

If that's the case, how did Barack Obama get elected twice?

I'll see myself to the delousing shower and take the answer from the gallows.

My friends who graduated from Princeton and Yale will be disappointed that they are under-educated.

The young and educated have great ideals about how things should be. The rest of us have an all too good understanding of how things are.

Welp, sounds like Newsweak just made the case for school vouchers, private schooling and homeschooling.

If the government run education system produces such dolts, perhaps it's time to junk it.

So the blacks and Hispanics who make up a large portion of Democrats are considered ‘highly educated’?

>>Donald Trump spent much of his election campaign raging against groups he doesn’t like; Muslims, the media, Mexicans and the rest.

So, he ignored people who want to kill us, people who lie to us for a living, and criminals who enter our country and steal welfare and social services from Americans who need it?

And he did this in favor of people who work, pay taxes, and vote legally but didn’t get to go to an Ivy League school?

Wow. What a game-changer! Its almost like the way America is supposed to be!

I’m still waiting to read my first article about how the poorly educated, low information blacks and browns were supporting Clinton or 0bama.

Heck of a thing when Newsweak calls a feller “poorly educated”. Given their standards.

Per the MSM:

When the majority of poorly educated voters supported Obama they were the downtrodden. When the majority of educated voters supported Romney they were the uncaring, selfish, out of touch elites.

When the majority of poorly educated voters supported Trump they were uninformed Neanderthals. When the majority of educated voters supported Clinton they were the smarter, caring, saviors of society.
