In an election cycle in which by objective measures Trump has performed so well on substantive issues such as the economy, foreign affairs and, yes, Corona 19, why is Trump lagging with this demographic? Certainly college educated people should have the discernment to come to the rational analysis on these subjects.
The often served up answer is Trump's boorishness, his tweets, his alleged viciousness against those who criticize him. I rather think the answer is clearly found in the common denominator, these are college educated people, mostly of a certain age, who have been exposed to four more years of pervasive indoctrination in our leftist academies.
The woke culture grows like a fungus in the University world which ceaselessly preaches systemic racism, a world where anyone who does not accept the shibboleths of racism, gender identity or climate change are flat earthers. Once this world view becomes the impenetrable conventional wisdom , trumps tweets and boorishness become grating in the extreme.
We shall see how President Trump deals with this demographic at Thursday's debate.
