In the last few weeks, Americans (and the media) have watched in awe as a New York real estate magnate prone to bellicose behavior and hyperbole has become the GOP's leading candidate for the White House.
But how did this come to be? A lot of it has to do with education.
Trump's support is strongest with Republicans in the Midwest, conservatives across the country who do not have a college degree and (perhaps not surprisingly) those who report the most negative views of immigration and Mexican immigrants in particular, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released last week.
To be clear, the poll found that 60 percent of all Americans support the idea of offering undocumented immigrants currently in the United States some form of legal status, and 57 percent told pollsters they believe that immigrants strengthen the country. But there are plenty of people who see things differently. And those people appear to be concentrated among whites, Republicans and those with lower levels of education.

Interesting how that works.
The brain dead losers in life accusing those of us who are self-reliant and responsible of being...well “brain dead”.
I bet this AA hire couldn’t pick out 5 countries in Africa on a map?
She definitely has cooties.
This entrenched media's whole reason for living, breathing, verbalizing and writing is to constantly lecture, admonish, manipulate, massage, tutor, educate, propagandize and browbeat us rubes and hicks....all the while positioning themselves as intellectually superior to the un-subservient, un-learned, un-heeding, un-washed masses who don't live in their snobbish world.
THEY are today's Goebbels, fascists and brown-shirts....they know what's good for us.....and you will refuse to heed and obey their ideology and diktats at your peril in the upcoming New World Order !
This situation, is, of course, one of the main reasons for Trump's meteoric success, He's exposing this pernicious pond scum and these media creeps for what they really are...and the ignorant common folks are standing on their dunce chairs and cheering him on!

Thanks for the ping, beautiful you.
I would have otherwise missed this hilarious column....LOL.
[Janell just put the finishing touches on her first book, set for publication next year, which examines the racial wealth gap and how the recent recession helped to reveal its true dimension.
She has freelanced recently for TheRoot.com, National Journal magazine and The Atlantic, writing about economics, politics and social justice issues. Before that she worked for the Huffington Post, where she wrote for Black Voices and Latino Voices, as well as the Nashville Tennessean, the Raleigh News & Observer and the Corpus Christi Caller-Times.
A graduate of Vassar College with a masters degree in journalism from Columbia University, Janell brings with her a deep understanding of race and the new economy, an interest in the disparity between the electorates concerns and politicians rhetoric, and, as a Spanish speaker, the ability to track Latino engagement with the presidential campaign.]
Sounds like her expertise is propaganda. Not very subtle so I’m guessing she didn’t graduate top of her class.
There is a large chasm between “intelligence” and common sense and rational thinking, two qualities I seldom find in Democrats. Actually, you don’t find much intelligence either. You have the intellectual elite leading the incredibly stupid. Now layer on lack of common sense, illogical thinking, and herd mentality, and you have today’s Democratic Party. Liberalism is also a mental disease, as we all know only to well.
I would not have a problem with giving foreign low wage workers a temporary, short term, worker visa. All those who cry that no one will harvest the crops, how about a six month permit that allows them to work the harvest season? Couple that with strict penalties for overstaying your visa and we have a plan.
Fixed.
The source is from the “un-realistic” COMPOST with its own agenda which Rush Limbo rightfully calls the “Drive-By’ media!!!
How about let the market dictate the wage that will entice American workers instead of importing slaves? SEAL THE BORDER!
Sooner or later, voters were going to get fed up with that.
Some people may have the luxury of not caring about whether the laws are enforced or not, but much of the country doesn't.
I have a masters degree in nursing and I like Trump.
Trump has a MBA from Wharton .... I’m sure he can provide all the documentation as well as his birth certificate.
No Janell, the morons of the world vote for Dems.
I’ll repeat myself as I have for weeks - if Trump were running as a liberal Dem the ilk like Janell would be promoting him to the hilt.
