This is bunk.

There were just as many uneducated voters supporting Hillary as there were supporting Trump.

This notion that people with college educations in the US are somehow "educated" is nonsense.

Educated in what?

The question you should be asking is whether voters are educated in the issues. Then you need to consider what are the issues.

Your issues may nor be important to me, and mine may not be important to you.

Further, rather than whether a voter is educated or not, I think it more important that a voter not be ignorant of our Constitution and form of government and the functions and duties of and limitations on each branch of government.

I know many educated people who are pathetically ignorant in these regards.

Who is the Black drama queen with the glasses on CNN? Seen him a lot recently but don't know who he is.

I remember reading posts here at C-D after Obama's victory in 2012 that sounded like crybaby sore losers coming from a few of the Romney supporters.

I accept the outcome and hope we will see great results because of the change of administrations. Disappointed perhaps, but it goes against my mindset to whine about it or even entertain a moment of bitterness.

The majesty of our democracy is that there are elections and there are winners and losers. If you're unhappy with the results, get over it. Feeling sad is a waste of time. At the same time I hope the winners aren't "sore winners" either and revel in obnoxious gloating.
Well, it is hard not to gloat after being sneeringly told at least 50,000 times that a Hillary win, including a win in PA, was guaranteed.

God, I hope so. There are bits and pieces of it that are good, but overall it's a dumpster fire.

I'm a long time fan of the show but this is the first season I haven't watched yet. I will watch this weekend. I give the WU guys credit though, they weren't blatantly in the tank for Clinton. In fact, last season Jost said in a WU bit that he thought Trump would win and the audience gasped. That made me happy.

You are absolutely right! I truly believe that he loves the US! And he is a good man!

I wish him lots of success trying to rebuild our nation! God bless him!

Does it matter?

During the 1960 World Series, the Yankees outscored the Pirates 55-27 in seven games. Too bad the Yankees' run distribution sucked a big one, winning three blowouts, but losing four close games. The Pirates won the 1960 World Series, and that can never be taken away from them.

On Obamacare: How soon can President Trump get rid of it? Or does he need another healthcare system in place first?
