"poorly educated" in this context, meant the voting bloc of white high school graduates, no college.
because as a group, they had been ignored and ill served by the political class for a long time.
jefferson supporting educating the people. trump found a voting bloc that was waiting for someone to speak up for them.
there is no conflict between these two... people, or ideas.
you seem to be implying that people who oppose you politically are stupid.
wow. that's somethign only a smart person could come up with.
you spelt s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g wrong.
don't care. your inability to address my point, is obvious to everyone.
because i've addressed your point ad nauseum. being poorly educated does not mean un educated & lack of will to find out the truth how you've been conned is on y-o-u.
cartoon boy.
correct. "poorly educated" does not mean uneducated nor does it mean that they lack the will to find out the truth.
your assumption that since they disagree with you, they must be "conned" is just you being close minded and arrogant.
and wrong.
Trump was the best candidate available. by far.
voting for him was not us being conned, but us going for the best choice for our interests.
