    Default Trump Fighting Back By Galvanizing His Base Of White Males, "The Uneducated"

    This president knows what strikes the chord of the "forgotten man," the uneducated or those who have not attended college, white male who feels that they're on the fringe and not touched by any form of government. And this president has reached out to them. So his numbers are low, but he keeps doubling down.

    “The decisive reason that white, male, older and less educated voters were disproportionately pro-Trump is that they shared his prejudices and wanted domineering, aggressive leaders …”

    I'm quite happy, have a STEM degree and a good job in my chosen field, plus I don't own a single MAGA hat. But I'm a white guy, so I guess you got that part right. I don't do drugs and won't be committing suicide either. You lose dick breath.

    guno shows no signs of being educated.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    "EDUCATION" is a subjective term. Educated by who about what? Einstein couldn't tie his own shoes or comb his own hair, or fry and egg, or boil water, but he could tell you about the universe and how to build an atomic weapon.

    Einstein wasn't as absent minded as all that, he had the knowledge to boil water and tie his shoes etc, he was quite the bicycle rider too, he was just thinking about other stuff, like physics. I really, really love it when the conservatives start talking about common sense, it that where this is going?

    April Ryan said despite President Trump's low approval rating we have yet to see any "kryptonite" that will "make him go out for the count." On Monday night's edition of CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, Ryan said Trump is "trying to find his way out," which means he has to double down with his base and "galvanize" them with positive talk about Confederacy and Charlottesville.

    Ryan also said talk of the "forgotten man," is something that "strikes the chord" of his base of the "uneducated" "white male."

    DON LEMON, CNN HOST: April, let's talk about the president's approval rating. He's at the lowest point overall. Just 36% say that they approve the way Trump is handling his job as president. How does the White House explain those low poll numbers which have been consistent throughout his presidency?

    APRIL RYAN, AMERICAN URBAN RADIO NETWORKS: Well, they are very reactionary and deflective. They're blaming it on the Russia investigation. they're blaming it on Democrats. And it's interesting, Democrats who are trying to come up with some wins, particularly in the gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, they're blaming everything on the reactionary president for all the problems that we're having.

    But this president is trying to find his way out. And he's doubling down with his base. And when it comes time to talk to his base, to galvanize them, he hits with topics that really resonate with them: the Confederacy, issues of race, the NFL with taking a knee or be it Charlottesville.

    This president knows what strikes the chord of the "forgotten man," the uneducated or those who have not attended college, white male who feels that they're on the fringe and not touched by any form of government.

    And this president has reached out to them. So his numbers are low, but he keeps doubling down. But we've not seen kryptonite yet for this president to make him go out for the count. He continues to rebound some kind of way. But the question is how often can he do this in the midst of this Russia investigation and just the divisions that's going on in this country?

    I repeat, "education' is subjective. Educated by who about what?

    Actually, Einstein was very savvy.. He recognized the threat in Germany and wrote a letter to his sister in 1922 about increasing nationalism and racism.

    There is more to history than quick sound bites.
