US Presidential election 2016

Watching MSNBC, a very liberal, pro Obama/ Progressive Democrat news network just showed a poll on Republicans with a college education "vs" non college educated.

Those who are college educated, Trump falls to 4th place by a difference of 2% of points.

Those of us who are not college educated (dummies NBC must be saying ) have Trump in first place...with a massive lead!

So, just shows, college makes you really dumb!? Not All cases... but liberalism is a mind eraser in Universities

 

I wonder what the ages are of the people polled. My friends, the parents at the kids' schools (except the more traditional Catholic parents), and my neighbors are all college-educated, but nearly all are supporting Trump.

I like to think I pick smart friends. However, the Trump-love freaks me out a bit.

 

A college education doesn't make a person smarter......my Dad has an IQ of 155, never went to college. Two of my brothers have IQs in the 140s.....neither went to college. Yet, they are more intelligent than 99% of the population.

 

I dont get Christians supporting Trump. Listen to him talk about people EVERY TIME he opens his mouth. As i have said, if my kids talked about other people the same way Trump did, I would think i failed terribly as a Catholic parent. He is not nice to people at all. I get the whole anti-establishment, but this is a guys who offend everyone in the way he talks about them and a guy who has flipped on every major issue to run as a Republican. If I cannot say to my kids about our president, that is how you should treat people, then I wont vote for that person. And I dont mean negative campaigning, that happens. I was a campaign consultant for over a decade. I get it.. I mean how you talk about and treat people in general.

 

Not sure if a missed the study demographic? Maybe I did

Trump gives me some pause as well.
MSNBC show the Morning Joe, (Host Joe is a former Republican Senator from Florida) gave his account of American elections since 1970's. Joe stated, Carter was elected for his campaign to be Honest after Nixons lies. Regan ran against Carters weakness in Foreign affairs. ( Iran hostage crisis) Morning Joe, points out Trump is winning on Obamas continued weakness on Foreign affairs, especially Islamic threats. Now the JV team is hitting our Homeland!
Every bad World event lifts Trump in the polls...its true

 

They can announce poll results without even proving they polled anyone or simply make up the result they wanted. Polls fall under...There are lies, damed lies and statistics. It's all manipulation.

Some of the smartest/wisest and most successful people I know are not college educated. Brains and wisdom are not synonymous with a peice of paper that says "graduate". Work ethic, honesty/morals, willingness to learn, interpersonal skills are often lacking with this peice of paper and should be valued most.

 

The fact that we're going to wind up with Trump vs. Hilary Clinton leads me to think Charlie is spot on with his claim that there will be no presidential election next year.

 

Something majior must happen No latter than 12 months from now. Im not doubting, just pointing out. My DEM neighbor just came over blasting odummer, I had to pinch myself. Even MSNBC said yesterday Obama was paled faced in his interview on the Cali massacre.

 

Infant, I do not receive messages from Jesus, Mary, or any angels, but I did sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night and I have news for you . . . something major is going to happen. How do I know? Not sure, just know . . .

Many of the discussions on this forum now are basically the equivalent of rearranging the chairs on the deck of the Titanic. We're going down and as Crewdog likes to say, finish your preparations while you can

 

Were all on the same page

Was this you FP?

By the way, its a Holiday Express commercial...good chuckle

 

Liberal's protest of the "war on women" is nonsense. Ted Cruz responded to to it by speaking of condoms, they're available, see his quote. I've been thinking Ted is God's candidate when you look at who has a chance of winning. Is he? Cruz is Baptist raised, does he know contraception is against God?

"Ted Cruz on Monday (11/30/15) offered a spirited defense of Republicans on women’s health issues, accusing Democrats of creating a phony “war on women” based on claims that his party wants to restrict access to birth control.

“The last I checked, we don’t have a rubber shortage in America,” the GOP presidential candidate said during a town hall here, responding to a question about the availability of contraception to women who want it.

“Look, when I was in college, we had a machine in the bathroom. You’d put 50 cents in and voila!” added Texas’ junior senator, who attended Princeton University and Harvard Law School. “So yes, anyone who wants contraceptives can access them, but it is an utterly made-up, nonsense issue.”

 

Jackie, you want to see a better option, watch this video, it will touch your heart and give you hope for the future

 

Like FP said, it's not gonna matter who is the next captain of the Titanic....it's going down! Either way! Already has the fatal hole, taking on water, fast.

 

An interesting question: should we discuss about something which won't happen? Or, where allegedly new unknown leaders will emerge?

 

Yes, because maybe we are wrong

 

I'm baffled that Trump leads him in the polls. If I were American I would vote for Rubio in a heartbeat. Could he beat the Wicked Witch of the West?

 

I don't think there will be an election, and I have thought this for nearly 4 years now. If there is though, Rubio is my guy. Even if there is not an election, I hope he is the leader Padraig saw in his icons, who would lead this country through our civil war. I can't believe Trump is still in the picture. I thought he would self-destruct by now. If it is a Trump / Hillary election...gosh, I don't even like to think about it. How devastating that would be!!

 

Marco got into trouble a couple of years back over Amnesty for illegals. Rubio was a rising star in the Republican party until he changed views on how to handle all the illegals who entered the States. Just my take

Trump, I believe the draw toward him is he not a politician, he speaks his mind, like it or not . Many are so tired of empty promises from politicans. Hes no saint, but with many Americans out of work, US companies moving overseas, etc... Also I believe him not taking any PAC money has resonated with folks, not being tied to future paybacks in legislation. Just my view of Trump in a nutshell.

I always vote pro life, that's my primary concern... an older Priest, he used to Always preach about pro life causes and remind us at voting time to choose life!
His words ring in my ear still... If you cant trust them with LIFE, what can you trust them with!
So profound

 

Just saw this on Facebook. Not sure if it is true.

You're right! It would be an interesting talk, in any case . My question started due to this statement:
