Notice Flag and Fat’s deflection from their statement’s inaccuracies? Hilarious. Such POS.
Flag: “19% of Trump voters had college degrees... 45% of Clinton voters had college degrees.”
Truth: Approximately 35-40% of both of their respective voters had college degrees.
Truth: Of all voters with college degrees, Clinton received about 50%, Trump received about 46%.
Truth: Of white voters with college degrees, Trump received about 50%, and Clinton received about 45%.
None of these truths are remotely close to Flagpole’s dilusional statement. He’s either an idiot, or lying. Either case should result in an apology to the board.
I love it how his followers just jumped on it like it was true without even Thinking about how ridiculous it was.
Lemmings.
Who's followers are you talking about? It looks like both sides jumped to conclusions a little too fast. It turns out that finding data on Flagpole's assertion is pretty hard to do.
You certainly shouldn't take my calculations as truth. What I did was some very rough math based on some very disjoint data points. Flagpole could still be right, I just don't think so.
But the Trumpers were also wrong in the argument they used to attack Flagpole.
I haven't seen good numbers from anyone on what percent of Trump voters have college degrees or what percent of Hillary voters have college degrees. The pollsters I've seen didn't present the data that way, so you would have to recalculate from raw data to get a good answer.
