David Brooks: Less Educated Will Vote For Trump, "Go With Their Gene Pool"
RealClearPolitics ^ | November 5, 2016 | RealClearPolitics

Brooks said the less educated and non-college educated whites are going to vote for Donald Trump no matter what. He added, "people are just going with their gene pool."

"Basically, less educated or high school-educated whites are going to Trump," Brooks told host Judy Woodruff. "It doesn't matter what the guy does. And college-educated going to Clinton."

He’s right.

I only have one Masters from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - the oldest engineering college in the US.

I am stupid and I’m with me.

I have a master’s degree from the University of Chicago. I also have a law degree. I voted for Trump.

This is elitism on parade.

Muti-advanced degree woman right here voting for Trump. Can you explain that , Mr Brooks?

In fact how can anyone with ay education at all vote for the mess that’s Old Hill? That seems to be a very idiotic thing to do.

“The left tells their supporters how smart they are. They suck it up. Then they go away.”

But perhaps there is a positive effect here for Trump. All of his “blue collar” supporters probably have a dim view of a “college education,” so this kind of BS is a motivator for them to get out and vote!

Distracted by his head exploding in anger because he realizes Trump will win, Brooks clumsily reveals his secret belief that he belongs to a superior race.

Here's my bio ...

College educated.

Graduate degree.

Licensed professional.

Just started my third business.

..........

Dear Brooks:

1. Before 2016 I never attended a political rally. I drove three hours each way to attend one for Donald Trump this past week.

2. Before 2016 I never donated a penny to any political candidate, or to any political party. I've donated money to Donald Trump for the general election this cycle.

3. The last Republican candidate I voted for in a presidential election was George W. Bush in 2000.

I am voting for Donald Trump. You and all the limp-wristed Beltway/NYC hacks who pollute the Republican Party had better pray for him to win, because if Trump loses I'm writing all of you @ssholes off forever.

Sincerely,

Alberta's Child

Obviously he has forgotten about the thousands of liberal “low information voters”.

You could ask the liberal populace......

Which came first?

The Constitution or the Civil War?

Half would get it wrong.

There is evidence that David Brooks collaborated with James Fallows on a hitpiece for the Clinton campaign in October 2015.

Fallows was targeting Trey Gowdy's Congressional committee just before Hilliarious' "sanctatestimony" on Benghazi on October 22, 2015.

This is just his intellectually superior, smug and condescending way of admitting that Trump will be President-elect next week and he backed a crooked, soon to be indicted criminal loser...

Expect George Will, Krauthammer, Bill Kristol et al to make similar comments next week...

If true, speaks poorly of those with a College Education.
FWIW, this college-educated white guy is voting for Donald Trump.

Fortunately the better educated will support a child molester and a rapist; a spy, and one who sold national security secrets for her own enrichment.

It doesn’t matter what you say, David Brooks. Americans have figured out that you so-called journalists are merely propagandists.

Yes: it’s ‘Hillary’s Mob.”

You read it here first.

I have 2 graduate degrees. I’m voting Trump. What one has to understand is that Brooks is just as ignorant about Americans as he is about Trumps chances of winning the Presidency.

We can’t all be as educated, enlightened, refined, and sophisticated as DB who writes for the propagandistic NYT rag. I hope the “uneducated” rubes rub a Trump victory in his face.
