Hillary. Whereas Trump received more votes from those with no college degree.

Makes sense.

Behind Trump's victory: Divisions by race, gender and education | Pew Research Center

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%.

Regardless what you say, Trump won, Clinton lost.

People can't feed themselves, how can they afford colleges? That's why they want change.

Hey, I remember colleges...I remember when colleges used to teach something other than leftist propaganda.

Indeed, if the claim in the op is true, then it may be a proof that the education in this country has been rotten.

The only college that matters in this case is the Electoral College.

That's an incomplete statement. If the people want change, they are hoping it might be for the better. Not better for the 1% or the upper 15%, as the current outlook seems to be, but for everyone. The people have put the fox in charge of the chicken house.

Why do you think Trump wants to dumb down higher education?

It is because he wants more voters-the uneducated have shown they will vote for him.

Pew has been 100% wrong about the election. They are a discredited pollster.

Sorry newbie, but a college degree these days is nothing special. The liberal elites like to salute their more 'educated' voters, but I'll chose a hardworking, blue collar family man or woman over what's coming out of college these days.
