Boy, you run with a small crowd.
The graduates I know all have figured out what a charlatan Trump is and that he is more of a narcissist than our current _resident.
They understand business/economics and also understand how Trump has lost more money then has accrued.
These people I talk about started at the bottom and worked their way up. They did not have millions of dollars as seed money to lose from their pappy like Trump
I’m for Ted Cruz...but this is unadulterated horseS#!T. All the pundits and statistics said Jeb Bush had a lock on the nomination and to this day say Donald Trump can’t win, but he just keeps on defying the political hacks. Just to be clear.. I think Trump is a flim flam man and I have serious doubts he believes half of what he says. But the simple fact is the other side is Hillary so I will take a chance on Trump. I really have no other choice. Hillary is probably the worst candidate in the last hundred years. The Sanders supporters are waking up to the fact that the race is rigged and a lot of them will sit out the election. Obama is not as popular as he was and all Hillary has to offer is four more years and the country is fed up!!!
“Do not count your chickens before the hen is laid.”
That’s the kind of great intellect you get with a college degree. 200k on education and that is considered
a formidable retort.
I’m sure you can do better.
I agree, I am an educator and, while I still pick Cruz first, I like Trump’s message and will vote for him if he is the nominee. Also, from talking to friends in my circle who have similar backgrounds, I am not the only college educated academic who would vote for him. This article is wishful thinking on the part of the author.
Here at my blue collar job I’m surrounded by trumpsters. Can’t reason with them. They absolutely love Trump. I’m a Cruz man but can convince them of the folly of their ways!
This:
With college-educated voters as a whole, Trump is poison. Pure, lethal poison.
and this:
Trump will not play in Bucks County. He will not for reasons Trende articulates in the final part of his excellent series. He argues that Trump is the avatar of what he labels -- cultural traditionalism. -- Cultural traditionalists share certain attitudes -- about the importance of family, religion, achievement, intellectual advancement, diversity (at least within categories deemed important by elites), patriotism, and nationalism -- distinct from, and often diametrically opposed to, those of their counterparts, the -- cultural cosmopolitans. --
This shows that our political process has become, simply, a battle between those who wish to be Godly and those who hate God. It is a battle between truth and lies, right and wrong, moral values and immorality. Everyone lining up against Trump and/or Cruz are being vilified in every imaginable way. The terms and phraseology being used are full of venom. I'm not saying Trump and Cruz are perfect men, but they do stand up for some of the core values on which the United States was founded and the foreign element HATES them (see author's name).
Well said. I am a Cruz supporter as well but will vote for Trump in a second if he is the nominee. Rubio... I would have to pray hard about voting for him.
Wonder how many fall for this garbage.
the analyisis simply states that any loss of Romney’s white college educated turnout will have to be offset by non-college whites...this is rather obvious, and I can’t imagine what part of it you think is garbage...
It’s al prediction, anyway...we can posit a deterioration of Romney numbers among non-whites with Trump, but their population is not impactful; white will control the election. We could also posit a large increase from Romney in non-college whites, and a drop off in college whites...trouble is, this is not a one to one tradeoff, given other demographic deterioration...obviously it remains to be seen what these changes will be...
but take Romney’s 2012 numbers, college whites 77% turnout, 56% vote totals; non college, 57% turnout, 62% vote total...keeping turnout constant, if the college bunch declines to 54%, North Carolina’s EV’s go the Dems, giving them 348; this will require an eight percent increase, 70%, in non college,to flip Wisc, NH, Iowa, Ohio, Colorado, and Florida, giving the Pubs 282 EV’s...and this does not account for non white distributions...
“Hillary is probably the worst candidate in the last hundred years.”
Exactly, as conservatives we have not had a chance like this since Jimmy Carter.
We should go for the gold. Put up the most conservative candidate left of the 5 to run against Hillary.
I doubt many would argue, the MOST conservative candidate is CRUZ.
Last night on the O’Reilly, Cruz said of the 12 million or more here illegally, the job of ICE is to deport people here illegally, they have to be deported and can not come back under current federal law.
Trump advocates for defying current federal law to let many of them come back. i.e Touch Back.
As a Cruz support my second is Trump.
Trump supporters, who’s your second?
It is likely that no Republican an win. The Democrats/George Soros count the votes for 11 states including Florida and New York. The electronic voting machines are highly hackable and committing fraud with them is so much easier than with the old mechanical machines. With the old ones each machine had to be altered individually. With the new ones many can be hacked from one location by one techie. The DOJ will be closely monitoring the polls to make sure no one is challenged about his legality or how many times he may have already voted, even in states with voter ID laws. The Republican can win the legitimate vote by an overwhelming margin and still lose in the final count.
Sen. Cruz better begin to win more states because otherwise like it or not, it will go in the direction of Trump, pure and simple.
Look for very close monitoring to take place by citizen based organizations in the months ahead.
More of the 30% support him, but 70% oppose him nitwit logic.
Open to either Trump or Cruz, NO RINOS please.
Oh so Trump is for the White Man? Go Trump GO!
Holy cow.
Snotty, uber-’intelligent’ arrogance.
Again.
They use these "can't/won't never type terms to justify their apathy because to be proven wrong about a man they have summarily condemned would be worse than allowing the Evil side to continue its reign even though it has a proven record of ....EVIL.
Lots of post graduate degrees in this house.
Go Trump!
I found this excerpt from the article illuminating and somewhat explanatory of the cultural divide in the Republican party and the so called “ceiling” of Trump support. Should Trump win the nomination expect him to take his base for granted while he cuts “deals” with certain leftist front groups and unions.
“The GOP establishment is made up for the most part of cultural cosmopolitans, while many of its voters are cultural traditionalists. Out of this untenable tension sprang Trump. The cultural traditionalists love him not least because he is a giant middle finger to the cosmopolitans.”
“The nation’s metropolitan areas and suburbs, though, are populated by cultural cosmopolitans, affluent, college-educated professionals who cringe whenever Trump promises to ban Muslims or deport every illegal immigrant in the country. As we have already seen, there are, at least in voting terms, more cultural cosmopolitans than there are cultural traditionalists, and by a considerable margin. As we have also seen, they loathe Donald Trump. They are never going to vote for someone who so grievously offends their sensibilities.”
Here's Trump giving his support to the traitor-in-chief on his worldwide apology tour...
TRUMP [on the Larry King Show (April 15, 2009), referring to the then newly elected communist president (Obama)]: "Well, I really like him. I think that he's working very hard. He's trying to rebuild our reputation throughout the world. I mean, we really have lost a lot of reputation in the world. The previous administration [GW Bush] was a total disaster, a total catastrophe."
