[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every woman in my family voted for Trump, all 7 of us. Hillary appealed to none of us. And we don't need Trump to take care of us, false. Women who vote for Hillary want the gov to hand out health care, SNAP, section 8, etc, and take care of them and their families.[/quote]

Proof that the NYT didn't have to search hard to find stupid women who voted for Trump.[/quote]

Women with college degrees didn't favor Trump - women without college degrees voted for him by wide margins.  As Trump himself once said, he loves the uneducated.  And the uneducated love him too.  [/quote]

Wow, I forgot about that comment.  I remember thinking at the time he said it that he had just been briefed on his target audience.

I also wondered who and how anyone could be so proud of being uneducated that they'd feel Trump was speaking directly to them.  The very comment is an insult wrapped in flattery, but Trump knows the minds of his audience well - perhaps because he's just like them.  Flattery works.[/quote]

Maybe the over educated could learn from the uneducated.  Some of the best business people I work with are first generation immigrants and gutsy Americans who built a business on hard work.  My IT guy's father has a PhD and his son has a GED and employs over 100 people.   [/quote]

You're missing the point.  Or maybe just exploiting it in the same way that Trump did.  The point is not that a college degree is required for success.  It's that a lack of a college degree is being celebrated as a point of pride.

Getting an education IS hard work.  And many Americans could learn something from the immigrant examples in your post.[/quote]

I am not missing the point.  I worked very hard to get my degrees while working in the day and attending school
at night.  I did not say that the lack of a college degree is a point of pride, I did say it is not always needed for success.  I pointed to both the immigrant and Anerican business people with whom I work to show that while an education may not be needed does not mean it is not valued.  I have written many letters of recommendation for college applications for my "uneducated" colleagues' children.   I have also worked with the kids who chose not to attend college and followed their parents into their business.

I respect people who make an egoist whether by obtaining an education or by working    I hope you can do the same [/quote]
