Why The 'Poorly Educated' Love Donald Trump Back

Donald Trump spent much of his election campaign raging against groups he doesn’t like; Muslims, the media, Mexicans and the rest. But there’s at least one group he’s a fan of. “I love the poorly educated!” the president-elect to be declared after pulling off a victory in the Nevada caucus of the Republican primary.

Now, an analysis of his shock election victory shows the feeling was mutual.

It was “education, not income,” that was the strongest predictor of a vote for Trump, according to the polling analyst Nate Silver.

Poorly educated. Racist. Sexist. Homophobic. Transphobic. Islamophobic.

Who cares what leftie snowflakes think of us?

Gee....funny how the Democrats don’t have a problem with the [many] poorly educated voters who support them. In their pointy heads, that is only natural, because those poor are minorities voting for free stuff.

*Shrillary spoke to the youth, who are notoriously bad voters.

**She spoke to Latinos, who are notoriously conservative. I guess her "people" told her otherwise.

***She spoke to blacks, who won't bother to vote unless there's a Democrat black running. They EXCORIATED Condoleezza "Condi" Rice, American political scientist and diplomat, even when she served as the 66th United States Secretary of State under President George W. Bush. I guess THAT honor wasn't worth much to them.

****She spoke to women.
Too bad her hubby didn't saturate the media with: "Vote for my wife. She's the BEST."

*****I don't recall her EVER speaking DIRECTLY and wholeheartedly to the MALE DEMOCRATS in her party. Do you recall any time she did that?
In the end those "forgotten men" voted for Trump.

Articles and opinion like this from 'our betters' is what got Trump elected.
Always pushing the identity politics.

Let’s see just ONE example (proof) where Trump said he doesn’t like Muslims or Mexicans. Just one.

The media? Yeah, we know he doesn’t like them. Neither do we.

Then why is it that the magnificently educated arrive at all the same conclusions that the urban ferals do?

I believe what scares them most is us “dumbasses” that DO think for ourselves and don’t need no steenkin’ village. Leave us ‘TF’ alone and if we need you, we’ll call you.

Well, “they” said he said it so it must be true. Still trying to figure out which particular item it is that has the snowflakes melting down.

I quit reading Newsweek during the early 1970's due to their excessive lying about conservatives and conservative issues.

I am sure they have only declined since.

Exactly. The more exposure to government-funded indoctrination the worse the voting record. That’s hardly surprising.

Education, and morality, are NOT linked. The Clinton and Obama years have shown that to be undeniably TRUE.

You don’t need a law degree to know what’s right, and what isn’t right. The clintons and obamas have all been DISBARRED...morality, honesty, and honorablity, out the window.

Too bad for them that the “poorly educated” vote counts as much as the elitists vote.

A visibly frustrated President Obama delivered a blunt message to Republicans with whom he had feuded over the government shutdown and the debt ceiling over the past month on Tuesday: Elections matter. I won; you lost. Deal with it.

That’s a paraphrase — obviously. Here’s what Obama actually said:

“You don’t like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election. Push to change it. But don’t break it. Don’t break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building. That’s not being faithful to what this country’s about.”

“Go out there and win an election.” That’s about as direct as you will ever hear a politician be about how he feels about his opposition and how they are conducting themselves. (It’s not the first time Obama has used the “I won” construct. Remember the health-care summit in early 2010 when Obama told Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.): “The election is over.”

Very interesting how the same people who fight tooth and nail to preserve the current education system, are the quickest to malign those who went straight to work after 13 years of public schooling.

The truth is that the class of “educated” really means that for four years daddy could foot the bill. Thus allowing you to drink heavily and do little to support yourself after High School. 24% of the country is “educated”. And some of them, (lets call them democrats) think that it makes them better than the other 75%. This is the new upper (snobby) class. Its not rich vs. poor (how gauche). Or White vs. Black (how racist). But rather a new socially acceptable snootiness, that is every bit as bad mannered and imperfect as the old forms of snootiness. Just ask Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs for their college diplomas.

Just one idea. It used to be the less educated that went to fight the wars.

Now that we don’t win the wars, maybe they have open minds to hear different voices.

Trump spoke of “winning,” again.

Just some low IQ musing, by deplorable me.

They need re-education camps.

I have an above average IQ. And read both left and right, and make my own decisions.

Funny stuff. I am one of the highly educated Trump voters. I think we’ve all seen highly educated people who are utter morons and smart, non-highly educated people who are not morons.
