Reality Check: Who voted for Donald Trump?
BBC ^ | November 9, 2016

Posted on 11/09/2016 5:42:44 PM PST by ConservativeStatement

Donald Trump has beaten Hillary Clinton in the race to be president of the United States.

Much of the narrative ahead of the election had been that Mr Trump was supported by angry, white men. To get an insight into which groups actually voted for him, you can look at the exit poll conducted across the country by Edison Research for the National Election Pool, a consortium of ABC News, The Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News.

Drove a 90 yo woman who had been a lifelong democrat to the polls where she proudly voted for Trump/Pence.

They still don't get it.

Two people told me today, lifelong Dems and union workers, voted for a Republican for the first time with Trump. Both people snickered when I told them they were now labeled “uneducated white men for Trump” by the media when in the past they were called “blue collar Democrats.” Welcome to the club, boys.

Turns out the “uneducated redneck” was just Rat propaganda but of course we knew that.

This white, mainly self-educated (valedictorian runner-up in HS despite massive MJ use coupled with a wild fascination for all manner of psychoactives) male chose the sole non-establishment candidate.

Shocker-alert...lol

A better question would be Who voted for HRC? If a large percentage of democrats and blacks voted for Trump, where, exactly, did HER enormous vote count come from? This points directly at how massive democrat vote fraud has come.

I’ve always wondered how the “experts” know the demographics of who voted for whom? Do they just do exit polls and then make up an estimate or is it something more official than that?

There was an effort in Utah to get people to throw their vote away on Egg McMuffin, thereby actually getting Hillary in, because they’re all butt-hurt that Romney didn’t get in. We went for that—NOT. We smashed it for Trump.

Remember when I was saying that the MSM was full of crap when putting out the story that Hillary was up by 9% in Utah. Believe it now!!!!!!

The numbers are based on major networks exit polls.

In other words, worthless where it counts.

Interesing. 6% of men voted 3rd party, while 4% of women voted 3rd party. I would have expected that to be in reverse.

Yes, mouth breathing, knuckle dragging troglodytes elected Trump.

The important thing for liberals to remember is that they were beaten by mouth breathing, knuckle dragging troglodytes.

Interesting. 58% of white voters voted for Trump, while 88% of blacks voted for Clinton. Yet it is racism by whites which decided the outcome.

Just because I’m not on campus for life, doesn’t make me uneducated.

>> Uneducated, uh huh.

The formally “educated” voter simply represents a college degree which isn’t necessarily an indication of intelligence. And FWIW, Trump voters typically had higher incomes.

Perhaps it should be noted that the Liberal mindset is simply an extension of Liberal academia — individuals incapable of individual thought.

No doubt!! I guess that IS their definition of educated: taking out student loans to wander aimlessly among general ed classes until you max out the loan and the U tells you to take it on down the road.

We voted for our country, they voted for Hillary. He ran for president because his country needed him, his expertise and connections. She ran for president because it is a prize she’s wanted since she was a child. Ever notice at Trump rallies they yelled USA (& lock her up) but at Hillary rallies they yelled Hillary. If someone yelled USA at a Hillary rally would they have been asked to leave? <sarcasm
