These are the same people that guaranteed a huge Hillary landslide...their polls cannot be questioned

Even if this were correct, so.

Increased education is related to higher IQ scores.

Still doesn't answer my longstanding question:

When income does not match a voter's education (i.e. affluent uneducated voters and poor educated voters), which is the greater influence on voting decisions?

So you are saying people that spent more time being indoctrinated by left wing propaganda in colleges are more prone to vote for candidates that push left wing propaganda.

Interesting, tell us more.

Ok--I'll get bashed for being elitist, but what was Trump's big promise besides 'Da Wall'?

High wage unskilled or semi-skilled labor jobs--like they 'used' to have (when unions ruled). A fantasy, of course. It's not going to happen. Technology has taken over manufacturing and even the Wizard of Trump cannot do anything to change that. Some retraining is necessary and some new industries are necessary. Going back into the mines is definitely not the answer. Other countries are passing us by with education and progress.

Either people train for new jobs or things will not change for them. Unions will not be making a comeback. Corporate greed is not going away. The corporate welfare infrastructure plan is not a long-term plan. The defense industry will not save the workers--we just don't need all the stuff we built during the Cold War. Obama tried to get infrastructure projects through and even subsidized it with federal money. Jerks like Florida's very own Rick Scott turned it down. Some infrastructure spending might pass now that the GOP isn't trying to obstruct--we'll see. Maybe Trump will pull an FDR.
