I'll just leave it at that.
That means absolutely nothing at all. A lot of the baby boomers don't have degrees because they grew up in a different era. What are you trying to say people that worked at a GM factory their whole life shouldn't be allowed to vote?

Clinton lost partially because the working class didn't like her. If Bernie would have won some of those voters would have voted for Bernie...what would you say then? It's just a liberal elitist talking point...and it's part of exactly why you guys lost which makes it even funnier. Uneducated blacks and minorities overwhelmingly vote Democrat so do you really want to go there?

Blah, blah, blah...cry, cry, cry...

Get over it. Maybe get a hobby and relax. It's not the end of the world, even for the loony left.

Seacove....they are planning on blaming Seacove personally. I've been out all over rural America asking this very question and the majority say they will blame Seacove.

Great, great thread here seacove and kudos to you for telling it like it is. I can't rep you anymore but that's ok. This election is disturbing proof rural America is a haven for the uneducated, the racists, the bigots and so much more. It's sad, but true. I will exercise my opposition to all things trump with my money. You know the experts say the Economy is mostly powered by consumer spending. It's time for us to flex our collective muscle in that regard.

I've got plenty of money too, far more than most. Mine came from brains, hard work, and sacrifice, but it didn't turn me into an elitist nor did it make me arrogant. And yes I voted Trump and yes I live in a tiny hamlet in the countryside. I've got rich neighbors and poor neighbors as friends and I value them all equally.

A vote for Republicans and Trump doesn't mean they are the answer tall problems. It just means they are a better answer than Democrats or Hilary.

Can you wrap your simple mind around that?

Um, I'm a college educated, upper middle class white woman who lives in the suburbs. I voted for Trump. I started working at 16 and have never been unemployed. I think your vision of exactly who voted for Trump is faulty. I didn't vote for him to "save" me. I voted for him because he wants to do something about illegal immigration and his plan sounds better to me than Hillary's. He also is for tax cuts, which I agree with.


I'm sure rural voters voted for Trump. And they voted for Hillary too. I know, because I have rural relatives who voted for Hillary. In fact, ALL my rural relatives voted for Hillary. Half of all Americans, which include people in every state and people of all socioeconomic levels and ethnic backgrounds, voted for Trump. It is Democrats who traditionally pander to the uneducated urban dwellers who are on welfare and want to continue to be on welfare. So why are you crying about "rural" people voting for Trump? Your thinking is skewed. You are perseverating to an unhealthy level. It's a national election; it's not something anyone did personally to you. You might want to seek help.

We're not going to blame anyone--there will be no need. I am looking forward to the environment being created to get jobs for our American citizens--whatever their race, creed or color, I'm looking forward to immigration reform to bring our illegal immigrants that have no criminal records out of the shadows and give them an atmosphere of peace instead of fear, I'm looking forward to reasonable immigration that our country needs, possible new laws and the enforcement of laws that are in place.

I'm looking forward to giving opportunity to that man in Ferguson who stood on TV saying as his town was burning down by Soros-paid protestors that all they needed there was an opportunity, and that if anyone would give them an opportunity, he would work hard to make it work. He's the first one I want to give opportunity to.

I thought Obama blamed on Bush in his first 2 years. He had the White House, house, and Senate too.
