Trump once said, “I love the poorly educated”, and according to the survey, he has an advantage with voters over the age of 65 who did not attend college, leading Clinton 49 percent to 33 percent.

For many, Clinton’s nomination goes far beyond politics.
On Thursday night, in front of a national television audience, Clinton will get her chance to respond to the charges Trump and other Republicans leveled at her in Cleveland last week.
They included Khizr Khan, the father of Muslim soldier, Capt. Humayun Khan, who died while serving in the US Army in the years that followed the September 11 attacks in NY. Many of her statements were lies and fabrications!
Mrs Clinton also offered an olive branch to those who backed her rival Bernie Sanders, telling them their voice had been heard, even as isolated voices of dissent echoed around the Philadelphia sports arena.
Calling former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg “little”, Trump said Bloomberg, a fellow billionaire, didn’t “have the guts” for a presidential run and “knows nothing about me”.
“It’s true, I sweat the details of policy”, Mrs Clinton said, adding that details should be a “big deal” to the president.
Trump defended himself in an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos and blasted Clinton as dishonest and weak.
Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, Democrats continued their well-choreographed convention, with a procession of accomplished lawmakers and others taking the stage to build support for Clinton. “From Baghdad and Kabul, to Nice and Paris and Brussels, to San Bernardino and Orlando, we’re dealing with determined enemies that must be defeated”, she said.
Just the same, it IS a campaign slogan, and a good one when you consider Trump’s divisive rhetoric.
The performances come in stark contrast to the previous week’s Republican convention which had few famous entertainers despite billionaire nominee Donald Trump’s boast that he would bring some showbiz pizzazz.
“There are pockets of America that never recovered from factory closures, men who took pride in hard work and providing for their families who now feel forgotten”, Obama said. “He can start by making things in America again”, she said as she rattled off a number of Trump products she says are produced outside of the United States. She is the first woman in history to do so. “He (Trump) is not really a plans guy”.
