College education doesn't mean squat if you want to be a welder or a plumber.

Having a degree doesn't make anyone smarter or better than anyone else.

It's just  a simple truth that a vast majority of those without a degree or with less education voted for Trump.

That does not equate to "dumb people voted for Trump" but the people who did vote for him have taken it as an insult.  

I think that says more about them than it does the stat itself or the people reporting it.

Silent majority actually meant less educated loud minority.

Accepting that my country is becoming an idiocracy is probably something I will never do.

I wonder why the candidate that ran on a student loan forgiveness program revived a whopping 9% more support from the college educated.

As to the rest: more of the same. I hope that others that have started to focus on popular vote after the election read it and see how petty and vindictive they sound.  

The last time our country saw a president lose the popular vote we got Bush two wars and the great recession. Ok call it what you want. Im being petty. But this scenario is playing out the same way and the same policies that got us there were a cornerstone of the campaign.

Just so happens Bush was a puppet. And now we have Trump who is also a puppet but he has a lot more people working the strings and some of them might not even be American.

If the man who bankrupted casinos is in charge of privatizing social security the Bush years will look down right wonderful compared to where we will be headed.

My Facebook has been lit up today saying Trump won the Popular Vote as well, lol.

True or not, I don't care.

Liberals and the left are unhinged right now and it's funny as hell. Calling people names and acting like 5 year olds is very telling...especially those in this thread, lol.

Kids crying at school.  SNL sang "Hallelujah" in mourning, and she nearly cried at the end.

WTF is wrong with people?  You root that hard, get that wrapped up in emotion...such that you're crying and a wreck after an ELECTION, and scaring the shit out of your kids? This is the left buying HARD into their own bullshit, even going from believing it to thinking the worst has already happened. They're acting like Trump has already nuked someone.

Goes way beyond butthurt.  These people are logically challenged emotional trainwrecks.  Hillary sucked, too.  Should have been all cried out over this election long ago.  It's not like Satan beat Jesus.

But it can get you elected President apparently.

In 1.5 years I'll have my masters degree and possibly will be beginning to pursue my PhD. So according to OP I'm way smarter than he is :andy: (and all you other losers )

I have an MS in physics and I've worked professionally in my field and I've been published in my field -- and I'm a Trump voter.

This country was founded for everyone, not just the educated. Talk to a dairy farmer in Wisconsin or an electrician in North Carolina then talk to a hedge fund manager in New York and you'll see who really knows more about the lives and hopes of normal Americans.

Donald Trump was inspiring and he's an outsider which is who we need. I'm sure Hillary Clinton is intelligent but she's as inspiring as watching paint dry with the charisma of spackling compound. Bernie Sanders is a crotchety old man but at least he's interesting.

I couldn't agree with your final statement more.  Hillary was; as Trump would say, "Low Energy".  She has a long career and resume to run on, but your average voter general knows jack shit about what any of that means.  I'd be shocked if half the country knew what the State Department's job was, be they your average Dem or Rep voter.  I'm impressed when I ask people what the 3 branches of govt are and they can name 2.  If it's not a buzz issue, it might as well have never happened, and the only buzz issue surrounding Hillary was the email investigation, which obviously wasn't helpful.  

Trump sucked all of the oxygen out of this election.  It was all him all the time, unless it was about emails.  The only advantage to running Clinton over Sanders was the giant stack of cash she could raise, which turned out to be no advantage at all.

The bolded part just adds credence to the "low education voters" went for Trump theory.

Of you don't know what the SOS does how can you be upset about Benghazi? Because someone told you to be upset about it.

Ah....the Polls.....the Media.....damned if they don't have us all on a string. Maybe I'm just becoming fatigued with the whole mess. The only thing about any of the rhetoric being perpetuated is continued divisiveness. Tripping over ourselves telling each other how wrong they are. Hell of a way to run a country, folks. Or live out our lives ....

Maybe someone, some day, will find a way to inspire us to return to common sense, respect for each other, and re-focus on building decent relationships with each other. Fanning flames like we have been is getting us nowhere fast.

What started as less educated became less intelligent by the end of the post.

This is it right here.  This side accepts no responsibility for anything ever.  Just like its leader, the one who did an enormous amount of name calling, including the one she called a large segment of the population, the one which went ahead and kept her crooked ass out of the WH.  Pointing fingers is literally all it has.   Its maturity level is shockingly low.

[JustWinBaby]

Yeah, Dems were the ones who really ramped-up the whole divide & conquer, identity politics game the past 8 years....Now extreme butthurt over Trump coming along and playing their game better than they do.

America was not nearly this divided and polarized before Obama, or even early on. This is the real legacy of 8 years from the Agitator in Chief. Thank god for term limits.

Yes, Clinton said 47% (her number) of Trump supporters were "deplorable".

I don't agree with the number.  But I know that there is a segment of racists/sexists/xenophobes that support the President elect.

But are you using that one statement to say Trump did no got to twitter to call names and degrade anyone who dared disagree with him?  Let alone the times he did it on video?

It's not "pointing fingers".  It's the truth.

Voters didn't care.  So I'm not sure what your point is suppose to be.

How many racists, sexists and communists do you figure voted for Clinton?  Or is it only white males that you believe discriminate?

I know a certain amount of women who hate men may have voted for Clinton also.  I think most blacks that hate whites didn't vote.  And why you through communists in there I have no idea but seems to be telling abut your point of view about politics.

None of that changes what I said about a certain segment of Trump supporters.

May I ask how you define a "communist"? And why is a communist "discriminating", and against whom.

Because "communism" [a.k.a socialism] is to capitalism as "xenophobia" [a.k.a. nationalism] is to globalism.
