    I don't even know how to respond to all of this... You took a lot of time to give me your honest opinion and break down everything and give credit where you believe credit is due so I appreciate your response, it's a very well thought out response. This is all from Forbes, and it all looks good to me. It's rare to see something positive about Trump from somewhere other than the normal sites. I'm very glad to see things booming the way they are and since Trump is in office, I'm crediting him for it. What I would really love to see, is quality of everything go back to what it used to be. By that, I mean everything from automobiles to houses to kids' toys. Remember how well things were built back in the 80's? Auto plants and toy factories used to take pride in their work and built quality products back then. And I like low gas prices which, in my opinion, is below $3.00, preferably below $2.00.

    Yes. Does this mean a record wasn't broken for the number of votes?

    That's correct. Thrown right under the bus after she wrote a book about her loss.

    Yeah but try getting that message out in today's pansy ass "I'm uber political and know more than you but refuse to vote" society... I'll bet you most of the anti-Trump protesters didn't even go vote. They probably sat around and figured the worst that could happen is Trump win, which actually is better because it gives the opportunity for the emboldened snowflake to riot and protest and be destructive and hateful, things they thrive on the most.

    I worked in a kitchen and deli back in highschool so I understand labor. Then I went on to only do creative work, because hey, it's what I do. I do work at a corporation that has production-line jobs. Auto-related. I interview them. I talk with them when I visit. Some have worked there for 30+ yrs. Are they unhappy? Not really. Some newer kids coming up have high expectations, but if they all they have is a H.S diploma, what else do they expect to do? Is is crap work? Its monotonous and not challenging, but many of the people I talk with take pride in it. They don't have to think about it when they leave. They don't have a lot of responsibility. And some are OK with that. Others want more and they'll creep into management eventually. But we have to be honest with ourselves. I could NOT see many of these guys/gals coding. I could see them fixing a machine though, because its basic mechanics and when the time comes, they'll learn. But a lot of these jobs aren't going to be automated anytime soon. Robots unpacking the boxes, moving the boxes, taking out the accessories, installing them isn't something any single machine can do. You'd need A LOT of very specialized machines and just to design and build one will cost infinitely more than a person. We'd need some fairly advanced machines with nimble fingers, until every car is identical, except for some software. Again, not happening anytime soon.

    You seem to think factory jobs and tech just can't coexist. You'd be WRONG!!! We have a lot of people and a lot of space and the two can exist and SHOULD exist together so there are options. Care to guess what happens if we can't create steel and those that create steel suddenly don't want to sell us any? That's a big ****ING problem. When BAD people can destroy the ships carrying the steel, we've got a BIG ****ING problem. Understand? We have to be self sufficient. We can't rely on others. We need to be able to produce everything ourselves or at least have the ability to ramp up when necessary. Venezuela can't grow their own food and now they're starving.

    We're not relying LESS on tech jobs. People are learning. People travel here to learn then take the knowledge home. China steals everything they know from us and others. They can't design a widget on their own without stealing the patent. We are still a leader in tech and innovation. Its not going anywhere. No reason we can't have a strong manufacturing base as well.

    No it's not, that's an anti-Trumper agreeing with Trump because he won with the EC. I bet the same guy was pissing and moaning over that tweet 5 years ago and saying the system worked like it was supposed to work. The poster knocked himself out if anything.

    But wasn't he was supposed to screw it up on day 1? The MSM said so=) And the economy is teetering on a cliff. It's unsustainable.

    The military certainly wasn't going strong and Trump turned that around VERY fast. Illegal immigration was horrible and Trump turned that around VERY fast. Manufacturing was tumbling and Trump has sparked new interest there as well. Too bad Trump inherited a horrible racial divide caused almost exclusively by Obama himself....for NEVER telling anyone the truth when he had the unique opportunity to do what no other POTUS was capable. He laid one giant egg on that one. A total and complete failure.

    These people call Trump a racist for having illegals deported and then in the same thread will show you a graph that brags about Obama deporting more illegals than Trump, too ignorant to understand that they're staying away because of his deportation views.

    Typical Trumpbot when faced with an unpleasant truth....instead of being intelligent and mature and acknowledging the obvious...he finds excuses and nonsensical rhetoric to cover it up.

    Well, what should I expect, most Trump voters are uneducated.

    Given that the alternative was HRC that time, I can certainly empathize - but then I discovered (with stupefaction) the US voting rate always was abyssymal! You, the poster-boy country for democracy!

    If all the morons have left is to lie about Trump's sexual life then they are in for a rude awakening come November, 2018.

    Trump is a racist, Nazi, white supremacist, sexual predator and all other lies won't win you a single election. Elections are won on policies and let me tell you, if the only policy you have left is let men use the women's bathroom you are pretty damn bankrupt of ideas.

    It's not like the loser of the election wasn't reminding us every day why she lost (hint: it wasn't her fault), but all the excuses suddenly stopped flowing now that she's been accused of rigging an election by the very person who helped her rig a debate.

    Let's put that lie to rest right now. Trump won with white college educated men and women. Most voters are "uneducated". Most Hillary voters are "uneducated".
    Trump also won in bigger margins with whites who didn't have a college degree by even greater margins.

    Guess what? Hillary won in even greater margins with blacks who didn't have a college degree. So based on that I guess Hillary voters are even stupider than Trump voters if you are trying to insinuate voters intelligence based on level of education.

    I didn't bother reading the racist article you posted, I do want to point out that it is racist and this is yet another example of racism of the democratic party and their supporters.

    Your post is insulting and racist both to American voters in general and to blacks and Hispanics. You do realize that the Democratic Party has a history of denying people of color the right to vote based on literacy tests and intelligence tests? Are you insinuating that people should not be allowed to vote based on their level of education? Seems to me that the history and policies of the Democratic Party has not changed much has it? For if you want to limit the ability of Americans to vote based on their level of education, that policy will no doubt adversely effect and disenfranchise African Americans and minorities much more than it will whites.

    That's a hoot considering liberals think a degree in African or gender studies is educated. Tell me, what do you consider educated? I'm bet most people with some sort of degree can't unclog a toilet or repair a leaking pipe while at the same time looking down their educated noses at those who can. And before you start tossing around the uneducated comments, perhaps you'd like to take a peek at the graduation rates between whites and blacks.

    Small states are already overrepresented in the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the electoral college and the US is feeling the effects as the empowered Southern states and rural Midwest seem to be fighting hard to drag the rest of the US down into their theocratic, authoritarian, and anti-intellectual culture.

    Ya, ok. Vs those all knowing intellectuals who want to import the most uneducated & unskilled people by the millions, to easily brainwash them into voting their way. But you don't want them actually living near you, interestingly enough. You want them living in Red states to...you know...shift the ballot box and certainly NOT affect your quality of life. You've got everyone fooled, I tells ya=) You understand how transparent you are right?

    My comment had NOTHING to do with the quality of the education. And I personally think that most post-education degrees are near-worthless.
    It had everything to do with intelligence...but I am not allowed to call people stupid on here. NOT that I was - or was not - calling the person in question stupid...just most Trump voters.

    My point was that most Trump voters are uneducated. And most people who are uneducated are NOT INTELLIGENT (have a lower than 100 IQ). Not all of them, but the vast majority.
    In other words, most - though not all - Trump voters are not intelligent and/or downright stupid.


    I assume that is plain enough.


    No doubt you do not agree...even though these are documented facts.

    And no doubt I do not much care.

    We are done here.

    Good day.

    You are aware that intelligence is inherited, aren't you? There are many links to prove this, here's just one:

    http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2014...your-iq-they-determine-how-well-you-do-school

    And here's another

    https://www.ed.ac.uk/igmm/news-and-events/news-2017/how-much-intelligence-personality-inherited

    Since intelligence is necessary in order to be educated then this doesn't bode well for the people known to have problems passing exit exams or other basic school courses. My next question is, do you know who those known people are and how they tend to vote? I do.
