The blue-collar wing of the Republican primary electorate has consolidated around one candidate. The partys white-collar wing remains fragmented.Its a challenge to Republicans that nobody has consolidated the college-graduate vote against Trump, says Glen Bolger, a longtime GOP pollster skeptical of the front-runner.
Even in a sprawling field of 15 candidates, Trump has opened a wide lead among Republicans without a college education almost everywhere. Those voters, polls show, are receptive to his hard-line message on immigration and to his opposition to free trade, and they express the most alienation about Washington and the countrys overall directionmaking them a welcoming audience for Trumps broader anti-establishment message and persona. ...Bolger said, The guy has shown he has a better political touch than most people expected, probably because most of the pundits think with the mind of college graduates, rather than what the less well-educated voters will react to.
It sounds like a winning strategy. Trump is roughly matching the college graduate level of support with the second place candidate, while running away with blue-collar support. More college graduate support can be developed with information and persuasion.
You may wonder who is the political consultant quoted in the article. Glen Bolger is pollster and strategist for GOP candidates and ImmigrationWorks USA, a business pro-immigration group that works with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on common issues.

Not this college graduate, I think Trump is our best option!
I don’t know any blue collar people who are as generally stupid as the college grads I know. Something about “higher education” seems to addle the wits.
I’m not sure that he could insult GOP voters more if he tried. Just another GOPe sycophant rampaging through the forest of cluelessness.
My parents made sure I was very well educated in part so that I could take my part in protecting and defending the constitution
Trump seems pretty good to me just for taking a strong - well - overpowering against this antiamerican media
So...
Is that ironic or metaphoric? I didn’t go to college...LOL
Trump is pro Israel, the Bush’s were Pro Saudis and even let Bin Laden’s family leave the USA just after 911, when Bin Laden was taking credit for 3,000 dead Americans.
Lots of money was given to Abbas the terrorist by the Bush’s.
Now Israel has no legal basis not to just toss the PA out of Israel. Oslo is over Abbas killed it.

I’m a white collar college grad and I can’t wait to vote for Donald Trump.
Med School graduates for trump :)
“I dont know any blue collar people who are as generally stupid as the college grads I know.”
My experience for 40 years, back to the time that I was in college
My daughter - a millenial and a college graduate - took one look at his announcement speech and said, ‘I’m voting for him.’ My son, another millenial and five years younger says he and all his friends are voting for Trump. Once again, the political experts don’t know what they’re talking about.
This Ph.D. supporter of Trump, along with one of my Ph.D. colleagues, finds it humorous as well.
There's more opportunity for leftist indoctrination.
Guys take sociology to meet girls, and fall asleep in class. The repetitive BS from the leftist professor seeps in, and they don't even realize they are being programmed.
Seriously, the solution is to go to a private university in a conservative state, where the alumni donors (successful businessmen and women) don't put up with this crap. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford it.
Never confuse intelligence with education - they are very different.
What an arrogant twit Glen Bolger is. This points out that proximity to Washington, DC is a good indicator of incompetence.
Ditto ERKelly, college grad for Trump ping.
I kin bareley rite but i kin fill in the cirkel for Trump.
