The Trump Candidacy

[SdK]

Let's get back to this: FSD, which party do you believe holds the majority of college-educated voters in this election?

stupid talking point. A college education doesn't imply you're intelligent.

I'll agree wholeheartedly.

i know people who went to college and even have graduate degrees and believe that vaccines cause autism. there are dumb dumbs everywhere

Jenny McCarthy is very persuasive.

I will say though, the "Democrats are just smarter" is one of the more insulting arguments. Its just a cop out against actually discussing and evaluating ideas and political differences.

Democrats are poor and unemployed and want the government to pay for their RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM themed gay wedding

I agree. But we all like to pat ourselves on the backs and feel superior. Painting with broad strokes is never a good look.

"Democrats are smarter" isn't an argument.

That said, I think the large, uneducated segment of the GOP base is a problem that has become very apparent in this election cycle.

[catastrophe]

Don't worry, once they overturn all those voter ID laws we'll get to see the large, uneducated segment of the Democratic Party as well.

I don't necessarily think one party's voters is more intelligent than the other, but I will say the GOP primary voters had to be pretty damn stupid to throw away this election like they did. Maybe sometime in the near future the Dems will throw away an election. Until then I will question the sanity/intelligence of a GOP primary voter.

Stein voters!

Oh hai

Not an anti-vaxxer though. I don't think vaccines should be required, any self-respecting conservative and libertarian should feel the same but alas the limited government thing is a complete scam.

Where did you go to grad school?

Indeed, they weren't even smart enough to go get their free IDs. . .probably not smart enough to understand the complex nature of foreign policy.

[8manpick]

You are delusional.

Trump said something along the lines of violent crime is at highs for certain cities (chicago may have been one), which is true. 

Pfft... Not true of Chicago even for this century.

[sonofdaxjones]

the GOP base, on average, is dumber/less educated than the democrat base.  that's not going very far out on a limb.  I don't think that there's necessarily anything wrong with being less educated, nor does it make the GOP policies any less valid. 

That said, I think having a dumber base leaves the GOP vulnerable to blowhards like trump.

Tens of thousands of Hilbots and ultra indoctrinated and monolithic thinking Dem sellouts to power over ideals.

Yea me too, it was a poorly executed Dlew joke

I am a complex guy, I guess.

I don't libertarians are okay with people re-propogating small pox and rubella.

[MakeItRain]

Personal liberty tho

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

I think under even the most liberal libertarian pov, your personal liberty can get checked when you start endangering others lives. For example, it would still be illegal to burn your own house down.

Trump also said that ISIS "honors" Obama -- who the GOP nominee referred to as "Barack Hussein Obama."

"Normally you want to clean up; he made a bigger mess out of it. He made such a mess. And then you had Hillary with Libya, so sad," Trump said.

"In fact, in many respects, you know they honor president Obama. ISIS is honoring President Obama. He is the founder of ISIS. He's the founder of ISIS, OK? He's the founder. He founded ISIS."
