Having a high end formal education does not ensure intelligence or good judgement. Look at all the lawyers in public office...who still NOT get things done in and intelligent way. I have no formal education and for some reason not being INSTITUTIONALIZED gives me the intellectual edge over most.

Lack of Education?

Anyone who would make or believe in a broad based negative generalization of millions of people across the USA simply because they disagree with them.

This speaks for itself.

Based on what I've read here, Trump supporters are vastly more educated and smarter than the people who start ridiculous threads like this one.

ALOT of people like me have advanced degrees, yet aren't elitists, and support Trump.

So there.

But republicans are by average more educated than Democrats and greatly out earn them. Only at the graduate level do D's rank higher, and that's because they typically don't go after the engineering or business degrees that you can actually use without going to grad school. D's are also less likely to get into skilled labor or trades. They typically don't have the work ethic or mindset for those jobs. Most D's without a college education live in poverty. That's a fact jack.

I don't know about you, but I don't view a HS English teacher with a masters in education as being more intelligent than the guy with a HS education fixing the elevator in the office I work in. There's a reason he makes twice as much as her. Enough with this nonsense

Listening to Al Sharpton today on Sirius, he had a guest who repudiated that claim. Apparently Trump has widespread support across all racial, ethnic, party and socioeconomic classes.

I'm voting for Sanders and will note that the ignorance lays with those who are unable to convince others that their candidate is the best choice so they resort to calling them names. "Uneducated" "racist" etc.

I dont know whats worse, people with no formal education voting for Trump, or people with college degrees voting for a hippy communist or a woman plagued with scandal for the last 30 years..

People who are paralyzed by political correctness...might just be more cowardly and dumb than us basic illiterates.
