Were the recent comments by Nancy Pelosi regarding uneducated white males voting Republican part of the new Democratic campaign strategy to “bring us all together?” Not only were her comments dismissive of non-college educated males, they also were not based on fact.
On The New York Times website, you can pull up an education breakdown based on exit polls from the 2014 election. The polls show that 55 percent of voters with a four-year college degree voted Republican and 45 percent voted Democratic.
If you look at the category of “not a high school graduate,” 55 percent voted Democratic and 45 percent voted Republican.
Funny, but I’ve never heard Pelosi complain about the majority of low education voters who support Democrats.

Was that an article from a credible source, or a letter to the editor as a fake source? Nice picture of Pelosi though - I know you guys hate her almost as much as Clinton.
Here is an actual article as source which pretty clearly articulates the levels of support amongst low educated whites shifting dramatically away from Dems/Clinton. This would seem to indicate that the 2016 cycle does not reflect the 2014 stats shared by Paul in the your post above.

Are you sensitive because you don't like the association? The facts speak for themselves. The shrinking core of Trump supporters consists largely of:
- Lower Education whites who feel the economy left them behind - looking for a scapegoat or a savior to remedy this 40 year trend of globalization
- People whose vitriol for Clinton has overridden their intellect (IE: I can hold my nose and vote for a narcissistic racist to keep her out of office).
- Evangelicals voting party line on a single issue
- Party hacks who've sold their soul - whistling through the graveyard hoping this will all be over soon.
