The GOP’s Diploma Divide

David Wasserman: “The latest polls of the Republican presidential primary show a party badly divided by education: Donald Trump’s strong showings are entirely attributable to huge leads among voters without a college degree, while voters with a degree are split among several candidates.”

“But the Republican Party’s ‘diploma divide’ isn’t new: It was central to the 2012 race, with roles reversed. That year, Mitt Romney’s nomination was attributable to GOP voters with college degrees, while voters without a college degree were split. Ultimately, the 2016 race may come down to which side of the diploma divide unites the fastest and most thoroughly once voting begins.”

2. Romney was the smart guy?

fooled me.

3. I think Romney was the 'presumed' smart one...

Hard to be too smart, though, when your religious beliefs disallow too deep of a dive into reality.

4. I guess 'smart' is relative within the context of that goup

not too sure collectively they could break 120 on the IQ scale. But one of them had to be the smart one.

5. I have no degree and I plan to vote Bernie.

All them college kids supporting Bernie don't have degrees either.

7. 2016 is the polar opposite of 2012 for the GOP on this issue

8. I question the worth of those diplomas.

A degree that fails to inoculate one against a platform of utter bullshit is incomplete.
