"smart, educated people embracing Trump."

My reply doesn't have anything to do with Trump, rather, I want to point out how sick I am of the elitist lefties equating "smart" with "educated". I would always trust the intelligence of a master electrician who never spent a day in college over that of someone with a Doctorate in Multicultural studies any day of the week. You could substitute any successful tradesman for electrician in that statement and it would still hold. There are lots and lots of well educated idiots out there.

Ok, you got me going. I Chose a trades-person over a college degreed nitwit any day! Intelligence and smartness are not the product of book learning. That is simply the acquisition of information.

The relevant questions are, what information is being acquired, and how us it put to use.

College degrees are often the result of acquiring useless information that has no purpose in the real world.
