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."

This is what this rumpwipe said in 2009!

http://hotair.com/archives/2009/08/31/the-obligatory-david-brooks-really-impressed-with-obamas-pants-post/

I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging,” Brooks recently told me, “but usually when I talk to senators, while they may know a policy area better than me, they generally don’t know political philosophy better than me. I got the sense he knew both better than me.”

That first encounter is still vivid in Brooks’s mind. “I remember distinctly an image of–we were sitting on his couches, and I was looking at his pant leg and his perfectly creased pant,” Brooks says, “and I’m thinking, a) he’s going to be president and b) he’ll be a very good president.” In the fall of 2006, two days after Obama’s The Audacity of Hope hit bookstores, Brooks published a glowing Times column. The headline was “Run, Barack, Run.”…

“Obama sees himself as a Burkean,” Brooks says. “He sees his view of the world as a view that understands complexity and the organic nature of change.” Moreover, after the Bush years, Brooks seems relieved to have an intellectual in the White House again. “I divide people into people who talk like us and who don’t talk like us,” he explains. “Of recent presidents, Clinton could sort of talk like us, but Obama is definitely–you could see him as a New Republic writer. He can do the jurisprudence, he can do the political philosophy, and he can do the politics. I think he’s more talented than anyone in my lifetime. I mean, he is pretty dazzling when he walks into a room. So, that’s why it’s important he doesn’t fuck this up.”

Brooks is such a faux-intellectual. His books and articles are pablum for progressives who want to think they are open-minded because they read works by a “conservative” such as Brooks.

This is, yet another, Prog/Left tactic to influence voters.

The tool that stated it doesn't believe it. He (like all Leftist) believes that everyone else is dumb. It is an attempt to keep some of those voters -like the 20 to 25+ age group- that are not supporting Hillary, to not vote for Trump.

White Men, + "uneducated"= racists/rednecks/flyover country/Christians/bumpkins/unwashed masses.

There's more to be said on this, I just don't feel like typing.

These people (the so called “elites”), paint with a broad brush to try and demoralize the unwashed masses.

They purposely do this to dismiss or marginalized people like me who are better educated, have more experience and are at least equally traveled as they are.

Oh btw, Stalin used to shoot these types of people.

And so it’s just — what was it? There was a Burt Lancaster movie where he had love and hate tattooed on his hands.

Brooksie, ol' buddy, ol' pal, you just proved that you're not an elitist prick, after all. Instead, you're a dumbass prick.

It was Robert Mitchum.

this Brooks twit, who acts like a Leftwing Professor, using a raised eye-brow approach

The truly risible thing is, the MSM used to trot Brooks out as their token "conservative."

Imagine if any conservative or Republican - whether a politician or a pundit - made derogatory comments about the “gene pool” of Democrats; there would be instant and universal cries of “racism.”

David Brooks ≠ David Brock

But then, they're not entirely dissimilar either.

Main difference = hair
