A Big Chunk of White Americans With Degrees And People Of Color Are Behind Trump

White Americans without degrees aren’t as likely to vote for Trump as in 2016, according to polls — which partly explains why Biden leads in national polls and key swing states like Pennsylvania. But a big reason Trump could still win the Electoral College, despite the poor marks Americans give him for his handling of COVID-19 and his job performance overall, is that the Black, Hispanic and college-educated white voters who backed him in 2016 are largely still with him, particularly in key swing states.

On the contrary! Get back on the plantation where you belong, sambo! We Democrats graciously put you there and you will stay there forever! Now put those chains back on! And snap to it!

I don’t believe that for a nanosecond

What on Earth would Biden-Harris do for them?

Many of them are in smaller cities and rural areas that aren’t affected by unemployment and Chinese Communist Virus

In other words, while Trump is a radical departure from previous GOP candidates in terms of personal style and his frequent racist comments,

Racist comments?!? What BULLSH*T!!

Fivethirtyeight may as well declare themselves as a SuperPAC for Biden. They don't even pretend anymore.

Ok. I’m just trying to figure out why “people of color” is acceptable and “colored people” isn’t. PC sure has a lot of rules.

Easy Divine, it’s just the Media lying about the voters choice again. You should watch for yourself how Ronald Reagan took on rioters and their supporters in the media (https://choiceclips.whatfinger.com/2020/09/08/as-good-today-as-the-day-he-said-it/ ).

I think Trump is “channeling” Reagan. lol

P.S. Trump has cut Biden’s lead by half or more in key battlegrounds, and is on track to win again.

SPEAKING GERMAN IN TEXAS:

In Texas there is a town called New Braunfels, where there is a large German-speaking population.

One day, a local rancher driving down a country road noticed a man using his hand to drink water from the rancher’s stock pond.

The rancher rolled down the window and shouted: “Sehr angenehm! Trink das Wasser nicht. Die kuehe haben darein geschissen.”

This means: “Glad to meet you! Don’t drink the water. The cows have $hit in it.”

The man shouted back: “I’m from New York and just down here campaigning for Biden’s Presidential run. I can’t understand you. Please speak in English.”

The rancher replied: “Use both hands.”

Just speculation but colored people was chosen for them. People of color was chosen by them.

The “China virus” they consider a racist statement which is laughable it is from China.

President Trump is not racist.

Dems screwed themselves with the riots. I think once the debates start, voters on the edge will be heading to the Biden exits in a stampede.

...ok. Like I said, PC has so many rules. Taking away free speech is tricky.

There’s also a greater chunk of population that determined the ROI of college wasn’t worth the debt.

Which group was smarter?

This is a change in fake or real news.

For basically 4 years, we have been told that the elite dems/people with worthless instant unemployment degrees will be big time voters against the evil Trump.

The rest of us with real degrees, engineering, business and math will stay home and not vote.

Of course these liars have no concept of how loyal the Trump voters with all levels of education are.
