It was really odd when talking heads mentioned college degrees and the 2016 election; Hillary’s minority support came from many barely literate people, and if those same minorities hold college degrees they are usually the equivalent of the 8th grade education of a white or Asian. Hillary definitely attracted the least educated voters this time around - as the Dems always do.
