Your post triggered a question in my mind since I had posted earlier today about those who are voting for DT. I wondered if these are the same people who gamble and while I couldn’t find the same breakdown of demographics for casinos, those who play the lottery have the same characteristics...

College Grads Learn Not to Play

The education level of prospective lottery players is perhaps the best predictor of whether they will play and how much they will spend. High school dropouts are far more likely to play the lottery, and to play heavily, than those with college degrees. This tendency is masked somewhat by the fact that those with lower educational levels typically have lower incomes and therefore can’t afford to play as much.

In September David Brady and Douglas Rivers of the Hoover Institution took a closer look at the demographics of Mr Trump’s enduring coalition. They painted a picture of Trump supporters as largely older, less wealthy and less educated.

They found that more than half of Trump-backers are female. About a third are over the age of 65. Only 2% are younger than 30. Half of his voters have a high-school diploma, but just 19% have a college degree. Just over a third earn less than $50,000, while 11% make six figures or more.

Whatever their age or income, Trump supporters are the Sheeple we’ve been warned about.

They have not discussed on item listed in the newsletter that looks very bad for The Donald.

Not one.
