Both sides have their smart ones and dumb ones. At least I like to think so. Anything beyond this argument will be opinion.

One more thing. Your comment that Trump only appeals to the lowly educated is every bit as off-the-wall as anything Run may have said. Your generalizations took certain liberties with accuracy too.

Originally it looked so, but you're right it has recently changed a bit. My generalization was wrong. Although I will stick to saying that uneducated voters do back up the backbone of his campaign. Maybe you're right after all. Educated doesn't necessarily mean smart. Especially when it comes to this election.[/QUOTE]




Or possibly people are in fact, much smarter in many cases than they are given credit for. And given that over the course of the past several decades, a comparison of what they have been told by politicians and media, with what they know to be the truth does not jibe, maybe they have thrown up their hands and decided to go a different route.

Honesty, the way things haves been going at the debates and on the Republican campaign trail, has been unfortunate. Ted Cruz should not be on national TV speaking in despicably condescending tones to Trump. He cannot claim the high ground if he chooses to fight the battle in the swamp. Rubio decided to go there out of desperation, and supportive establishment types worried about their continued power and finance have spurred him on. I could care less about him. But Ted needs to take the conversation from the playground to big boy politics and let Rubio grow up on his own. So, Ted needs to snap out of it and realize that the establishment are certainly no friend of his. Why is he doing their dirty work and at the same time making Republicans look even more stupid that Harry Reid and Barack Obama have been saying they are? He's supposed to be some kind of genius last I heard.

The people will make the right choice. The problem isn't the poorly educated in my opinion. It is the lowly aspirations of voters, which are the inescapable by-products of the gutter born aspersions of racially charged and minority based biases that Dems love to use to their advantage every election cycle going back to the days of Jimmy Carter. That's when Democrats did their magic pivot away from the George Wallace's and Robert C Byrd's of their own conference. We don't talk about such things these days, but I remember it none the less.
