Trump loves ‘the poorly educated’ … and social media clamors

I love the poorly educated.

“We won with highly educated, we won with poorly educated!”

Trump thanked supporters, telling them “we will be celebrating for a long time” after his win. We won with poorly educated.

For those who are not surprised at how thankful Trump is for “the poorly educated”, the next five months, possibly the next nine months, are looked upon with dread. “We’re the smartest people, we’re the most loyal people”, Trump said.

Donald Trump’s first-place finish in SC has revived an ongoing discussion about the possibility of a brokered Republican convention, the prospect of which became a central question as the candidates made the rounds of the post-primary Sunday shows.

Cruz, a fiery conservative popular among voters on the GOP’s right, finished a disappointing third in SC after spending much of the past two weeks denying charges of dishonest campaign tactics and defending his integrity.

But Cruz harked back to his win in Iowa’s leadoff caucuses to remind supporters that his is “the only campaign that has defeated Donald Trump is this campaign”.

Michael Squires, political editor at the Arizona Republic, talked with KNPR’s State of Nevada about the growing numbers of Latinos and whether any GOP candidate has a chance of picking up their votes.

But it may be hard to stop Mr. Trump in Nevada, where he has enjoyed a high profile because of his business dealings in Las Vegas and where only a small number of voters have typically participated in the caucuses. There are no signs that any of the non-Trump candidates plan to drop out anytime soon. Though the RNC chair condemned Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the USA, he has repeatedly refrained from openly criticizing the GOP candidate, calling Trump’s campaign a “net positive” for Republicans.

He smashed Marco Rubio, the man the party hopes might rally enough support to defeat him, and Ted Cruz, who still appears to be determined to take down Mr Rubio before tackling Mr Trump. John Kasich has five delegates and Ben Carson has three.

Even with the support of Hispanics, people dressed in Ku Klux Klan robes were spotted holding Trump signs outside a Las Vegas school caucus site, sparking outrage among lawmakers and residents, according to several tweets.
