Opinion: The thinking person’s argument for Trump
Market Watch ^ | July 27, 2016 | Steve Goldstein

Poll after poll shows the same thing — a huge chasm in terms of support for Donald Trump between those who have a college degree and those who don’t.

In a CNN/ORC poll published Monday, Hillary Clinton has a 51%-to-36% lead among voters who are college graduates, while Trump has a 51%-to-39% lead among those who aren’t. Put a different way, the college-grad divide is even starker than the gender divide, where men go 50%-to-38% for Trump and women are 47%-to-43% for Clinton.

I think it's only media propaganda that more educated people support Hillary, than Trump.

The article actually bashes Trump, exaggerates and misstates his positions.

I guess it proves a college education ain’t what it used to be.

Because if you don’t have a college degree, obviously you’re not a thinking person. /s

Idiot.

Which shows colleges are liberal indoctrination centers.

Excellent point!

The various X-ology and victim-studies grads far outnumber the STEM grads. These people aren’t better educated than high-school-only voters (which is what we’re supposed to believe) — they’ve simply been more thoroughly indoctrinated in political correctness. Education gives your brain a workout — not a washing.

Excellent point. “Degree holders” doesn’t mean squat.

We are both STRONGLY for Trump.

If this data is true (and I have my doubts) it’s about TIME that Joe Six-Pack takes back America!

I’m not ‘thrilled to the gills’ with Trump, but what SANE person could ever, EVER vote for Hillary?

I’ll never understand it.

Re: “think it’s only media propaganda that more educated people support Hillary, than Trump.”

Agreed. I have two bachelor degrees and two masters and I am voting for Trump. Of course, degrees don’t mean you’re educated - just that you have a degree. Some of the stupidest people I know have doctorates.

Somebody please double-check this information, but Google is showing that the 60% to 70% of working Americans who don't have a college degree, meaning that they haven’t been institutionally indoctrinated with socialistic brainwashing imo, are supporting Trump.

Judging by this it’s no wonder the dems keep
pushing “Free” college.

More well educated idiots.
