With non-college white people, Donald Trump is up 68-20.
That is not the demographic I would most want to lead 68-20 with, because it does nothing to help a cause doing badly with other groups. Under-educated white people are unlikely to convince minorities of any kind or well-educated white people. Even if there were fewer of them I would rather have a lead of 68-20 with educated white people because they at the least have the power of the word with which to calm those who at first oppose my political position.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
