I'm not broad brushing today, if you're referring to me. I specifically referred to polls and the general understanding of the statistics.
That remains to be seen. I do not think much on the first part but the latter part could see an explosion. Trump vs Cuban in 2020?
Didn't look at 538, but from the Pew link:
"In the 2016 election, a wide gap in presidential preferences emerged between those with and without a college degree. College graduates backed Clinton by a 9-point margin (52%-43%), while those without a college degree backed Trump 52%-44%. This is by far the widest gap in support among college graduates and non-college graduates in exit polls dating back to 1980. For example, in 2012, there was hardly any difference between the two groups: College graduates backed Obama over Romney by 50%-48%, and those without a college degree also supported Obama 51%-47%. Among whites, Trump won an overwhelming share of those without a college degree; and among white college graduates – a group that many identified as key for a potential Clinton victory – Trump outperformed Clinton by a narrow 4-point margin."
All in all, as fatguy87 suggests, a fairly nuanced set of facts, not easily reduced to pithy self-serving conclusions. After a period when "there was hardly any difference between the two groups," NOW of course the voting habits of non-college educated folks is prima facie evidence that........I dunno, they aren't smart enough to vote for the right candidate?
Similar to what we, apparently, are supposed to know about those white people in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin: Obama carried them in '08 and '12, but not in choosing Trump they reveal themselves to be bigots......

touche, I'm not going back and editing every post on a message board. I'll bet you a million dollars I can find a grammatical error of you on this message board.
I would hope so - 11000 posts over 13 years on here.
I don't feel above the "uneducated" though.
Me either. I usually feel below the educated on in depth conversation about most stuff.
I'm sure it will be a link from NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Daily Beast, Politico etc... matter of fact I'm sure of it.
Sobecat, show your friends your comments in this thread about them. Something tells me you might get your ass kicked, or at the very least your friends wouldn't be your friends anymore. What a smug person you are. I've never once judged my friends by their education, hell I'm not even sure if most of my friends have degrees or not, because I don't care about that stuff.
Interesting. Now which candidate was it that relied most heavily on celebrity influence to help drive voter interest, attendance and participation? (Hint: Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Katy Perry, Kardashian, Madonna, Jay Z, Beyonce, Dunham, Streep, DeNiro, etc. .......)
And, fwiw, the entire "educated elite voted for Hillary" reeks of arrogance. The same arrogance that alienated millions and drove them to another candidate. Most people are smart enough to realize when they are being covered with bullshit regardless of how many years they spent in the Ivy League.
I've said for years that George Clooney is positioning himself to be a politician. Even the wife he took, I believe is for his future political career.
Watch and see.
That would be an interesting race... Are they still in a twitter feud?
Like normal, you on the left read what you want into a post. That shows your own bigotry and feelings towards the right.
Come on, be better.
My uneducated friends aren't stupid, they know the statistics. Nor do I hang out with people "ass kicking" people that piss them off, not that this does.
And hopefully this can be my last word on the matter. If asking a question based on FACTS makes me "smug", so be it. I didn't say anything about intelligence or character. The answer could be as simple as they believe Trump's policies will positively affect their employment. If you don't want to recognize the FACTS underlying the question and find them offensive, that's your problem.
I wish I had a tailor. Don't really want a BMW and I don't have a yard for a gardner.

The real prejudice lies in the fact that you guys automatically assume I'm some wealthy elitist for asking a simple question based on facts. Facts are I was middle-of-the-road lawyer watching my budget BEFORE spending my last few years battling liver failure culminating in a 1.3 million dollar liver transplant a few months ago.
I think most of us are still waiting on a link to verify all those "Facts."
But I do sinerely wish you all the best on the liver transplant, tough stuff and don't wish that on anyone, even a liberal elitist lawyer.

That wasn't a typo. A typo would be if you typed yout and didn't notice it. You typed "your" and it looked accurate to you. If you would have paid more attention to details you would have voted for Trump like you should have.
The only fact I'm sure of is....
UK and Stephen Johnson kicked ul's ass Saturday and I'm still enjoying that!!!

2016 Presidential Candidate
Donald Trump should come out of those towers he names after himself and actually talk and listen to people. You know, at some point, if you want to be president of the United States, you’ve got to get familiar with the United States. You’ve got to spend time with Americans of all sorts and backgrounds in every part of our country

Obama carried those that were too worthless to finish HS by a 2/1 margin and convicted felons favor Dems by a 4 or 5 to one margin....Dems proud of that?
Obama wants to start his own media company per Drudge

after they accused trump, a billionaire who doesn't need politics, who isn't taking a salary, of running for president just to drum up buzz for his media network dream.
Maybe trump can donate his salary to Barry, as in sure, much like the Clinton's, times will be tough for the ex presidential family.
According to another source, Obama met privately with FacebookCEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg in Lima, Peru, on the sidelines of the recent APEC summit to discuss the matter.
Gd that's scary.

Obama must have read "Al Gore's Guide to Media Riches & Wealth Beyond Your Wildest Dreams" self-help series.
