Most of what is in the media is untrue.

The story about Donald Trump supporters being poor and uneducated is also untrue.

The media has been pushing the theme of poor uneducated Trump supporters as just one way to vilify him and try to delegitimize Trump's popularity.

In fascistic look step efficiency all the major “mainstream” business publications are globalist Free Trade propaganda engines. Never a thoughts to the contrary allowed, no questioning of a religious doctrine that clearly has decimated huge chuck of the economy.

The well educated middle class is seeing jobs going to H1Bs, and seeing their children having to take on huge loan burdens, while minority students get free rides. They are angry too.

Totally untrue.

Most Trump supporters can be seen in the back of the special bus.

Wearing hockey helmets.

Or bearded men looking to use the girls locker room.

These media folks are insidious.

Yeah....I know, I know.

Jedi.

heh.

Pssssst....hey....hey....over here...psssst...need delegates?

Let me re-translate this garbage with comments in ( ) so it's true: "MOST analysis of Donald Trump’s support in the primary elections has focused on his appeal to poorer (people made poorer by the current administration) working-class white voters, who are assumed to have lost the most to (had far more of their paycheck and savings dimished than any other segment of the population taken to fund all the freebies the WH is handing out to their voter base) and are more open to his particular brand of populist politics (because they are rightly pissed off at being taken advantage of by this administration).

When Americans went to the polls in 2012, the following was true: Work-force participation had sunk to its lowest level in 35 years, wages had fallen below 1999 levels, and 47 million Americans were on food stamps. Yet Mitt Romney, the challenger to the incumbent president, lost lower- and middle-income voters by an astonishing margin. Among voters earning $30,000 to $50,000, he trailed by 15 points, and among voters earning under $30,000 he trailed by 28 points.

Glad you pointed out that it is BS so you’re not completely inundated with nasty replies!

His populist common-sense message cuts across all demographics, as every poll shows. What Trump has done by means of what Scott Adams (an admirer) calls his “4th grade rhetoric” is speak to the “less highly educated” far more effectively than most politicians have ever done. So they not only relate to what he is saying, but how he says it, because it is the way they speak also. That is not only good politics but very effective persuasion.

The story about Donald Trump supporters being poor and uneducated is also untrue.

I can't speak for other parts of the country, but Donald Trump's support in Wisconsin came from the areas with the poorest and least educated GOP voters. The Donald also drew large numbers of unionista Democrats who are/were opposed to Gov. Walker and his conservative reforms.

Trump is despised by 80% of Wisconsin GOP voters.

Ted Cruz: "Listen, Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice.

Where we are beating him is when voters’ get more engaged and they get more informed. When they inform themselves, they realize his record. "

Everyone knows it’s only “stupid, uneducated, sexist, racist, xenophobic, morons” who support Trump.

Most of the other Trump supporters I know are also business owners, with college education, who happily hire and provide products/services to all races, genders, and people from any country (and hang out with diverse groups when we’re not working). And we’re smart enough to do it with all of the laws/rules/regulations/taxes that both Rs and Ds have put in our way.

But the label is all that matters to the media. And we’re happy to join people who fit the acceptable label both in the vote and business and friendships. Funnily my friends who fit the label are not Trump supporters though one of them (a D for Hillary) did go with me to a Trump rally - he had fun but still “could never vote for Trump”.

Trump gets 70% if the “Independent” or non-party affiliated vote.

He will also get 70% of male Democrats, and 100% of male Dems who want to keep their guns.

Toothless and uneducated is how the media has portrayed Republicans for the past several elections. They couple that with the mantra about how smart the dims are.

You got one thing right, the Trump supporters are mostly Libertarians and some Conservatives, most of them not very deep thinking, whatever their educational level.

Well, Hillary's been running around the southland pandering to poor, uneducated voters as well.

Well, just the poor, uneducated non-working, dependent-class" black ones, but they're just as poor and uneducated as as the "poorer, working-class white voters" that The Economist considers to be Trump supporters, when they're talking down to or about them.

So, in the end, if Hillary's plantation dwellers outnumber Trump supporters, so be it. It's all a wash.

But let's not forget all those new people Trump's bringing into the process. The old formulas may not work any longer.

I always seek out a British publication when I want honest information about American Politics. Relying on people who can see through a keyhole with both eyes at the same time is a true comfort.

The reason elites care where Trump's vote comes from is to concoct strategies to demoralize those voters. They are so vile... and predictable.
