"Oh my F'ing God! Did you really just interpret Trump winning 45% of the college graduate vote and 37% of the post-graduate study vote to mean that 45% of Trump voters have a college degree and 37% of them have done some post-graduate study?!?

Oh my F'ing God!

I guess it goes without saying that you are not one of those with a college education."

Talk about getting rolled. OMFG!

Which does beg the question - are these folks who you are humiliating really as stupid as they make themselves out to be? Is that level of stupidity even possible?

Since I can't tell anymore who's trolling/acting stupid, or just actually that stupid, I'll post the facts of what has transpired...

Flagpole said:

"Only 19% of Trump voters in 2016 have a college degree or higher.

45% of Hillary voters have a college degree or higher.

Those with higher education have more money in the stock market.

Trump is touting the stock market as one of his accomplishments (mostly bogus, but the corporate tax cut has helped temporarily with that), but his base doesn't really benefit."

The exit poll numbers provided by the NYT, CNN, etc. prove that statement to be patently false. There is no debating this.

The college graduate vote was basically split overall. And the overall vote was basically split overall. So to conclude that only 19% of Trump voters are college grads and 45% of HRC are college grads is ridiculously stupid. The moment you read those numbers, you know that person is lying. Trump won white college grads. He won the suburbs. He won every income group over $50K.

Trump voters are loving the stock market's gains thus far. You know who aren't? Over-educated Liberals with useless degrees. Teachers that claim they don't make enough. The uneducated minorities (75% of this category went to Hillary).

Flagpole once again Flagpoled here. It's just what he does. He's not a smart man.

Funny how Trump supporters blame liberals for not understanding the forgotten man in the 2016 election (the forgotten man doesn't invest in the stock market at all) and yet now that Trump does something that helps the stock market (temporarily), of course most of Trump's supporters are wealthy and invested in the stock market! It's just not true.

Go knock on some doors in rural areas where they overwhelmingly voted for Trump, and if they don't shoot you, you can ask them if they have money in the stock market...they don't.

Flagpole- you need to admit your statement was incorrect here. Accident or on purpose, it's not a true statement. Be a man for once and fess up.

You are incorrect, with the proof in the words.

You can pull stats from all kinds of different places, but it is clear that college graduates preferred Hillary:

"College graduates backed Clinton by a 9-point margin (52%-43%), while those without a college degree backed Trump 52%-44%."

To think that all those rural Trump supporters who felt left out and who he targeted have college degrees and money in the stock market is ridiculous. My point stands and is correct.

Who are Trump supporters?

Flagpole - you can make idiotic statements like guaranteeing Hillary would win. You can make erroneous claims about just about everything. You can lie about stuff left and right. You can make recurring annoying statements like "Mueller is coming ...Trump is done" - You can even be a dolt. You can even be a little turd. But we still love you, bro!. We love you to the hilt!

But I really wanted to see if a single one of them would notice their error and point it out.

You KNOW the answer to that one.

Even after having it pointed out to them, not a single one of them will acknowledge it. Admitting error is not the Trump way.

Stats are often presented in a confusing way because writers know most people are idiots. You are posting a "change graph." Trump won the white college educated vote. Hillary won the overall college educated vote because of some outrageous non white college educated voter numbers. Very fishy numbers. This story means nothing to Republicans. It is intended to feed the lib ego to reinforce how evil the poor white man is. It could have been written as: Trump suffers big losses with poor black and Hispanic voters and reinforce how the Democratic party does nothing for poor blacks and Hispanics and yet they keep supported them.

Here is the truth distilled for you and for everyone...

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

What about people in the ‘burbs? Are they invested?

What about people with incomes >50K? Are they less invested in the stick market than those with incomes < 50K?

Just askin’

Flagpole can settle this by posting the source for his numbers.

According to my back of the napkin calcs, I get 40.6% if HRC’s voters were college educated and 35.2% of Trump’s.

Based on 40% in US with degrees, votes cast, and % of college voters voting for each candidate.

You are intentionally trying to mislead us with cherrypicking BS. Read the whole article. Two different sources contradict each other slightly. There is nothing wrong with the reporting.

Like I said earlier, the reporting is not contradictory. The two sources only contradict each other on slight details. That's just two sources with different perspectives. The stories are essentially the same.

Hillary won the overall college educated vote because of some outrageous non white college educated voter numbers. Very fishy numbers.

So it was confusing because Flagpole said "college educated" instead of "white college educated"?

I guess I can see how that would confuse Trump voters.

Regardless of the presentation, the fact remains that the numbers presented by FP are incorrect.

Why won’t Flagpole release his sources?
