Only the uneducated?


what constitutes being educated?


What does education have to do with intelligence?


You are not making a connection between education and intelligence are you?


OP is an elitist position.

Don't confuse schooling with education. A lot of those Bernie Sanders supporters are college educated, and they are complete morons.

Very true, I went to college but I know people who are more well rounded who didn't go to college.


Some people are very well read and can talk on more subjects than someone who went to college.

Don't forget.....MIT professor Gurber said they would pass Obamacare on the backs of the moronic American public: they were talking about the democratic party base.

Attending university's and being indoctrinated in socialism is not better than entering a trade or operating a business. Many of the successful business owners around my area haven't been to college. Some have hired people that have been to college. They hire accountants but many promote managers that started out at the bottom and worked their way through promotions on merit. One of the advantages is they can work for less starting out because they don't have a huge college debt.

Under Educated White Men

Who are these people. More than likely they will be your auto mechanic, your plumber, your carpenter, your electrician. The men who work in manufacturing (whats left of it) men who maintain the infrastructure (whats left of it) the men who built the roads, streets, airports, dams, buildings, etc. Yes this even includes the men who serve in the enlisted ranks of the military, the coal miners, and roughnecks. Some of the above people may have a higher education, but I think most do not.
If you want to get into specifics of under educated white men how about the following: Harry S. Truman, Chuck Yeager, the Wright brothers, Thomas Edison to name a few.

Can you imagine the outrage (rightfully so) if a right wing publication claimed the reason African Americans vote democrat is because of their lack of education?
I know, right? I bet there are more "uneducated" Democrats than Republicans. I hate that term anyway because what do you call grade school? It's not like a bunch of illiterate people who haven't been educated in the world of hard knocks. And many older people didn't go to college because college was too expensive and not really necessary to have a good career back in the day.

Great post. These leftists are so clueless. I don't call a Ph.D when I need my toilet fixed. As a matter of fact....I don't call a Ph.D ever

What was it Nancy Pelosi said yesterday?

"And I think that, so many times, white, non-college-educated white males have voted Republican. They voted against their own economic interests because of guns, because of gays, and because of God, the three G’s, God being the woman’s right to choose." -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)

Democrats are arrogant, elitist idiots.

The myth that Trump supporters are uneducated has been busted many times.

Boy, Hillary pulled the wood over the eyes of those "educated" when she lied about the emails didn't she. Add, "gullible" to those Hillary supporters. You would think people so educated would be smarter, but an education doesn't make you smart, not even intelligent, it just gives you a piece of paper you can flash.

Everyone I know that supports Trump is educated, smart, intelligent and patriotic.
Sounds like you don't know a lot of people!
