Educated white women were already recoiling from Trump. Then came Kavanaugh.
CNN ^ | October 2, 2018 | Analysis by Ronald Brownstein

Posted on 10/02/2018 4:50:47 PM PDT by McGruff

Even before Christine Blasey Ford delivered her controlled but explosive testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, college-educated white women like her represented a rising threat to Republican prospects in the November election.

But Ford's detailed allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh could allow Democrats to solidify an unprecedented advantage among those women, who represent one of the few steadily growing components of the white electorate.

Coming even as many professional white women are already recoiling from President Donald Trump's definition of the Republican Party, and Democrats have nominated an unprecedented number of professional women for Congress, the collision between Kavanaugh and Ford -- a professional herself -- has the potential to reinforce a lasting shift in loyalties that could tip the partisan balance in white-collar suburbs around America.

and they just alienated black and Hispanic men who’ve been on the receiving end of false accusations themselves or know people who have

True. Also, Irish white guys who like to drink beer. They alienated them.

Absolutely. I really wanted to know what kind of beer he liked. That would have been one of the few questions that would have been useful in that whole travesty.

Perhaps “trained” would be a better word than “educated.”

You can call yourself “educated” all you want, but you are pretty stupid if you are recoiling at Kavanaugh or Trump.

I’m a college educated white woman and am not so indoctrinated that I cannot see when someone is lying and recognize a hit job when I see it.

It has solidified my SUPPORT of Trump and Kavanaugh, although I am not so stupid as to blindly support the Republicans at all costs.

When I vote, I never use the Republican line unless there is no choice.

I usually go for some third party endorsement.

Educated women of any color have read history, know a lot about other cultures from the past and why they died, know a lot about capitalism, economics, socialism and communism and what led up to those dictatorships. They know a lot about revolutions and how those who start them are not usually the ones to end up in power when they are over. Educated women have respect for the men in their lives and do not want to be men. They also want to keep a judicial system which is just for all people, and, especially the part that declares innocence until proven guilty. Great women do not envy, connive, lust for raw power gained through corruption and they do not lie. Educated women know that volunteering to help those less fortunate than themselves is vital to a life well lived. They usually love God, family, friends, and country. I am very fortunate to know many educated women and I voted for Donald Trump, along with several of them because socialism and communism do not end well. No mystery.

why would ‘college educated white women’ have any issues with Trump at all if, as high-schoolers and college attendees, they were the wanton sex-crazed alcoholics, druggies and juvenile delinquents chasing after jocks that is being portrayed by Kavanaugh’s accusers?

the status of ‘college-educated’ was just thrown out the window, in case the MSM hasn’t noticed

“’I had one beer.’ Well do you think it was… ‘Nope. It was one beer.’ Oh good. How did you get home? ‘I don’t remember.’ How did you get there? ‘I don’t remember.’ Where is the place? ‘I don’t remember.’ How many years ago was it? ‘I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.’ What neighborhood was it in? ‘I don’t know.’ Where’s the house? ‘I don’t know. Upstairs. Downstairs. I don’t know. But I had one beer that’s the only thing I remember.’ - Donald Trump taking about educated Doctor Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony during a rally tonight.

I am surrounded by elite educated white women. Yes, they are vastly tilted towards the left and most are supporting Dr Fraud. I’m even in Texas... Obviously there are exceptions, but anecdotally... upper middle class educated white women are brained washed minions of the demoncrats.

MY educated white woman (mrs. jimfree has a PhD with a book and other publications) is a hard core Trump supporter who is furious with the treatment of Judge K.

In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people of low ability have illusory superiority and mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is.

Oh, they do lack common sense and lack critical thinking skills for sure.... I gave up a long time ago and don’t talk politics with my relatives and many friends.

Funny, CNN doesn’t mention anything about what men think after the Dems told them to “shut up and step up”!
