Sure they do. Define educated? If you consider anyone with a high school education "uneducated" you're a snob. It's also a Democrat problem if they only want college educated supporters cause more than half the country isn't college educated. That's not exactly how you win democratic elections...having a majority can be helpful.
Dems could of easily won in 2016 but the party hierarchy gave us Hillary and that was a choose your poison "Hobson's" choice. Trump or Hillary? Lots of smart, educated people voted for Trump cause Hillary sucked. So don't tell me only uneducated people supported Trump cause Hillary sucked too.
I'm not giving Dems a pass on just one bad candidate. The second choice was Bernie who is almost as bad as Trump. I still think John Kasich would have stomped Hillary by a landslide in a national election. At least the GOP had an honest process to win the nomination and Trump used it to his fullest advantage. With the Democrats it was essentially decided by the party brass that Hillary would be the Democratic nominee. The irony of this is that it's been Republicans who have had a history of snatching defeat from victory by the party brass deciding a candidate. The last time the Democrats tried that stunt was in 1968 and anyone older than 55 knows what a debacle that was.
when trump went birther he understood completely how many uneducated were out there. a person has to be uneducated to think coal will make a comeback. A person has to be uneducated to think that jobs being off shored are a problem and not know that automation has been the real reason for mfg job loss. Yeah trump pandered to the ignorant and it worked.
Clinton was indeed awful but a factor was the Bernie folks staying home. There were a number of factors in the election but I blame Bernie folks staying home as the largest. I think the recent elections bear me out. When civil people go to the polls people like trump dont stand a chance.
