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."

There are plenty of non-college educated people who are more successful and finer individuals than this schmuck writer will ever be.

My father was a mechanical (aerodynamic) engineer.

Engineers actually have to learn how to think.

Yep.

To his enormous credit, the great scholar, Clive Staples Lewis, understood this.

Read the book, That Hideous Strength.

He explicates how it is the so-called intellectuals who are most easily deluded and exploited, and how the rural farmer can often see things more clearly.

Congratulations. You should write a second dissertation on the Desirability of Deplorability.

From the article:

"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."

Funny that all those not-too-well-educated illegals and in Virginia, former felons are supporting Hitlery.

i guess they're just going with their gene pool.

” ... and graduated from a different high school.”


Attended another high school. She took the GED from what I understand.

My point was that I don’t need them to do my thinking. I don’t care for their views about the economy, trade, national security, healthcare, etc. I would know far more about such things than they would. The same is true for most other celebrities.

This is the elitist view of average Americans by someone who believes that he and his ‘class’ are better than the rest of the country and therefore entititled to tell them what to do and who to follow.

I have a BA from Columbia and two MAs from the U. Of Houston and have been able to figure out that he and his ilk are full of themselves (crap.)

I'm just signing in with you deplorables. If you're an educated Trump voter, this seems to be "your" thread!

I'm a broken-glass Trump supporter. I have spent the last year of my life volunteering for Trump. I have an Ivy MS that I paid for myself. I wanted to go for the JD LLM or the PhD, but I wasn't able because I worked to support (sequentially) two husbands and one of my children so they could finish their doctorates.

But I did work with the double- and triple-graduate-degree strategists at a global company for some years. One of the things I did was market forecasting. I have a natural gift for it that goes beyond the extensive research I do when I'm asked about a trend professionally. Sometimes I just have a vision or a "knowing."

About ten years ago, when things were very gloomy indeed, I told my one son that conditions would continue to go from bad to worse for the United States until 2015, when at that point the trend would start to turn back around towards the right direction and the nation would be built back up again.

When Obama was inaugurated, I was distressed; but I had a vision from the Lord that told me He would help our nation avert disaster, miraculously, just in the nick of time.

When 2015 dawned, I watched and waited. The moment Trump announced in June 2015, I spent a day researching him and realized, "This is it."

Can't wait to cast my vote for TrumpPence on Tuesday.

Given the depth and reach of the Clinton/Obama/Soros fraud machine, I cannot state with certainty that he will win this race. But he has changed the nation for the better, no matter what happens. And with all my heart and prayers, I want him to win and ask God daily to forgive our nation and grant us mercy. Please join me in that, over the next three days especially.
