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

Posted on 11/05/2016 10:58:47 AM PDT by i88schwartz

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."

Say, I read about this Brooks fellow (and his ilk) in the first chapter Paul's letter to the Romans:

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Wisdom only comes from keeping your eyes on Christ.

But do you have degrees in Black Studies, and Gay Studies?

These are the important “progressive” degrees that employers are hungry for (/cough,choke)

David Brooks and S E Cupp can compare notes on being the New York Times House Conservative.

What a pretentious pseudo intellectual twit! If he finds Hillary morally acceptable for the Office, he should not be comparing his genetic attributes for intelligence with anybody else's. He is not the "sharpest knife" in the drawer as some cliche driven pundit, only a little brighter than he might put it.

How Can Any American?

How can any American support one, running for President, who does not respect the stated purpose of the Constitution, she has repeatedly sworn to preserve? The Preamble to the Constitution states that purpose, very clearly:

We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Our "posterity," of course, are our lineal descendants. A purpose that is 100% consistent with Donald Trump's call to put America First. It is 100% consistent with the Fifth Commandment, and traditional Western values, in general. Mrs. Clinton's call for open borders, and the failure to properly vet immigrants from lands with very different value systems, is 100% inconsistent with the Constitutional purpose.

How can any American refuse to vote for Donald Trump, who not only understands & accepts what the Constitution requires. He strenuously exposes Mrs. Clinton on issue after issue!

Trump is willing to risk a lifetime of success--his whole career & fortune--to take on a corrupt media, that tries in every unfair, intellectually dishonest, way to cover up Mrs. Clinton's crimes and repeated acts of betrayal, in order to stand for us, our Constitution and our clear interests, on a host of vital issues. Consider:

1. Trump supports and has been endorsed by the border guards. Mrs. Clinton has shown only disdain for those trying to keep America safe from a flood of unauthorized invaders.

2. Trump supports the rights of Americans to efficiently arm themselves, both for their own protection and for the protection of America! Mrs. Clinton has repeatedly sought means to disarm American families.

3. Trump has supported local Police in violent confrontations with neighborhood thugs; while Mrs. Clinton & Obama have allied themselves with virulently anti Police groups--some funded by George Soros--groups determined to deny their law abiding neighbors, the Police protection, necessary to make those neighborhoods safe.

4. Trump understands that making any neighborhood safe, is the key to increasing constructive activity in such neighborhood;--the key to people being able to start local businesses, with some hope of success; the key to better job opportunities, better credit ratings, etc. Mrs. Clinton has shown herself more intent on encouraging and supporting those Soros funded groups.

5. Donald Trump supports all forms of American energy production! He wants to let the coal miners get back to work; to take advantage of improved technology that allows a cleaner use of coal. Mrs. Clinton has insulted the coal miners, by refusing to help them get back to work, while she patronizes them; offering them a new dependence on even more Governmental meddling.

6. Returning to the Constitution--the solemn compact (or contract) that authorizes us to even have a Federal Government;--the charter, that once--when truly honored--made us the envy of the earth:

Donald Trump has pledged to appoint only those who honor the clear intent of that charter, to the Federal Judiciary. Mrs. Clinton has promised to only appoint Judges who agree with her ghoulish view of Feminist issues: such as the idea that it is O.K. for a woman--on mere whim--to have a healthy, already half born baby, killed in cold blood, in something euphemistically labeled a "partial birth abortion!"

7. Donald Trump, daily addresses great rallies, to discuss these and other vital issues; such as the damage to American workers & communities, resulting from trade deals, and immigration policies, that do not protect our rooted population. Mrs. Clinton has avoided in depth discussion of issues; preferring, instead, an incessant attack on Donald Trump's personality; his tone; his supporters;--in each case misrepresenting the same by a combination of lies, cherry picked but misleading data, gross exaggerations, and citations of spurious media smears, engineered by a slavish press, which covers up actual crimes, in a blind, but determined, support for the perpetrator.

Under such circumstances: How can any American vote for Mrs. Clinton? How can any American refuse to vote for Donald Trump?

Note further: There are thousands of organizations, some Faith based (both evangelical & social); some secular, but ideological; some based on Humanist arrogance (Return To Babel). Among them there is something to represent just about any imagined human interest. Our written Constitution is the sole organizational effort focused solely on the interests of the rooted American. How dare any American betray or trivialize our organization; the Constitutional Republic, as it was intended by the Fathers, who won it for their posterity?! How can any American refuse to vote for Donald Trump?

May the living God Bless all those who understand what is truly at stake!

One final note:

The Difference Between Virtue & Sanctimony

As we move into the last days of the 2016 Presidential campaign in America, there remain some, both moderates & conservatives, who feel a need to disparage Donald Trump over matters of personal taste, polish or social decorum, rather than on questions of public policy--rather than on actual issues over the proper functions & purpose of our Federal Government; rather than on issues, which go to the very survival of our traditional way of life.

It is not our purpose, here, to pass judgment of anyone's view of proper social decorum, or on anyone's personality, or methods of argumentation in political exchanges or discussion. Here we have dealt with priorities; with present as well as future perspectives on the valid priorities of the American people: With what matters in relation to future prospects, material & spiritual; to the continuity of America & the Americans; recognizing that the future happiness of hundreds of millions of Americans is on the line: In short what is fifty thousand fold more important than the incident in which Donald Trump responded a bit rudely to a pretty "debate" moderator's insulting questions, or made some gauche comments many years ago. In short, the difference between actual virtue and sanctimony.

I find myself in the same position as you.
I guess my degree in Fluid Dynamics is worthless, I sure wasted a lot of time getting it.
I will immediately do a JohneffinKerry and write a strongly worded protest to the university.

Thanks-after years of hearing elites say that because I’m Latina, female and have a college degree, I’m naturally going to vote for democrats-especially if they are female- I’m happy to say they don’t know what the hell they are talking about. Most of my friends are men-I relate better to them than I do to most women-I work only for/with men-I’m heterosexual-I like guys who look, dress, talk and smell like real men. I’ve considered myself a feminist since I was in my teens. The rural area I live in is pretty much ethnically divided 45% Latino, 45% Anglo 10% everyone else-there are Trump/Pence signs on every gate-mine included-on this road...

Since that blows up quite a few of their myths, it seems the
educated elites are not as intelligent and they’d like to believe...

By the time I was 19, as a college Sophomore, I was tearing apart poseurs like this twit, in arguments over political policies, when in my cups, for pure sport. Anyone who ever attended a Left oriented Liberal Arts College will remember the type. They are a standing joke among those who refuse to be indoctrinated by the Leftists on the faculty. (Brooks, apparently, did not have sufficient grey matter to resist.)

Yes, that sounds arrogant on my part. But I really do recognize a pseudo intellectual dolt, when I see one.

My Hispanic/Latino family has always voted Republican, possibly because most of us always live in remote rural flyover areas-I am blessed...

My guess is that any random janitor, auto mechanic, grocery store clerk, etc you pull off the street would easily beat David Brooks in every conceivable intelligence test.

Correct. According to Wikipedia neither of the two, Jay Z or B., graduated from high school. It does not say if either has passed a GED. Both voted for Obama and I presume these two “intellectuals” will vote for Clinton.

"One thing about Trump, he’s forcing these people show their true colors."

The great disillusionment it has been, as I have been calling it. All the people we thought were the "good guys" have been metaphorically shtuping us the whole time...

When Brooks says college educated, he means college-dumbed-down.

“Thanks-after years of hearing elites say that because I’m Latina, female and have a college degree, I’m naturally going to vote for democrats-especially if they are female- I’m happy to say they don’t know what the hell they are talking about. “

So you are the “REAL WISE LATINA!” Unlike that “affirmative action hire” we have in the SCOTUS. We live in Northern California. We own business property in Napa. As a consequence, we see a lot of the Hispanic community there. We have a continuing problem with “homeless vagrants” sleeping around our building, but NONE OF THEM are Hispanic. They are all trashy whites who pee and crap on our stairways, plug their electric blankets in to our utility outlets, and break our outdoor lighting to help to conceal their being there from the police. The Hispanics in the area are all hard-working people who have good family values. Bless you for being who you are.
