HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT

[HairOfTheDog]

Making it ALL about race is just as shortsighted as claiming that race has LITTLE/NOTHING to do with it, in my opinion.

The media was quick to respond with the "uneducated whites" suggestion, however, it's still looking like Hilary won the popular vote, so is it the electorates that are the "uneducated whites?"

There is always a lot of media and analyst discussion of demographic voter preferences/predictions during presidential election cycles, Gunnar --including college educated vs. non-college educated, white, men, women, urban, rural, suburban, African American, Latino, etc...

But, to answer your question: Trump did, in fact, succeed in flipping a couple of formerly blue states with large rural non-college educated populations, thus earning electoral votes that have traditionally gone to Democrats.

And, Clinton did, in fact, get a greater percentage of the college-educated vote than Democrats have won in the past. She beat Trump by 9% among all college-educated voters. Trump, however, beat her by 4% with white college-educated voters (which is better than pre-election polls reflected).

A key to Trump's electoral victory: Trump’s margin among whites without a college degree was the largest among any candidate in exit polls since 1980. Two-thirds (67%) of non-college whites backed Trump, resulting in a 39-point advantage for Trump among this group.

If you're interested in the post-election 2016 voter demographic turn-outs and preferences, Pew is completely non-partisan and does an excellent job of providing unbiased narrative of the hard data/statistics/facts. Here's the link: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/201...education/
