Trump won. Let the uneducated have their day

Bill said:
I do agree many that voted for him are in for a rude awakening, especially those that have been in the GOP for a long time but I think it has more to do w/ class~wealth, than necessarily education....

I dunno how many of the ppl that supported him are "uneducated" ~nor for her :dunno: but I do know many that are struggling & were once solidly in the middle class loved what he had to say & telling them who to blame & who would save them...

IMHO he played to this disenfranchised group that the dems essentially abandoned when they ended their relationship w/ labor aka the working men & women in this country...

They admitted @ the time there would be some winners & some losers~as it turned out there where tens of millions of losers & a few real winners...

The wealth went to the top & the bottom grew, kinda just like many said @ the time..

Stagnant wages & the reality that many are not going to do better than their parents=

Do you think Bay Area residents appreciate being viewed as "Left coast elitists"?

I would guess many do. They consider a badge of honor if the alternative is to be a redneck from middle America. Again, look at Christie's subject line for this thread.

when is it OK for a presidential campaign to use Russians to plan its run

Must be OK. Obama was OK with using the Russians....He said that he would have more latitude to make deals with Russian "AFTER HE WAS RE-ELECTED". His own words. But...they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

"Uneducated" is not accurate, but it is striking to see that Trump's core is white males without a college degree. I don't think that's necessarily something to tiptoe around. I personally don't judge anyone by their level of education, and there are a lot of smart people who didn't even complete high school. But I did think that was a remarkable stat for a candidate's key demographic.

They (the uneducated) are........they're out in the streets acting out as you described.

Look at your subject heading though. You (rightfully) don't like when whites talk poorly about uneducated minorities but why is it any different when doing it to uneducated whites? It's that type of condensation that leads to someone like Trump.

Condescension. As in, I hope you don't take my correction of you as condescension.

They were going to have to vote for someone right? I've seen it argued they essentially made themself a minority voting block (albeit a much larger one) that voted as a block.

Huh....WORKING CLASS PEOPLE...is that what you mean? Blue Collar as opposed to WHITE COLLAR? The forgotten?

Or are you suggesting that only WHITE FOLKS work in this nation?
