      Trump exasperated this trend. It would be really hard to be a thoughtful, honest, serious, intellectual who is a GOP booster today.

      Imagine how different the GOP coalition would be with a President Rubio or Sasse. Much more college educated/maybe more racially diverse.

          Then again, Trump actually won. And maybe America is better off with incompetent Republicans than with competent liberals. It's a theory.

          Not a very good theory. Unless you really put party over country.

          I don't think Rubio or Sasse would have won. Clinton would've run the campaign she wanted to run, left v right. That's a losing hand for GOP

          Very possible you're right. Also might turn out to be a Pyrrhic victory.

          There's also the other problem with our would-be ruling meritocracy. That is its utter lack of demonstrated merit.

          The problem with the allegedly highly educated is that they are vulnerable to social pressure to conform to their class's expectations.

          I can't believe I'm saying this but college doesn't prepare you for the street fight that is coming to go against entrenched power.

          You're pretty full of yourself & out of touch. I'm college-educated & voted for Trump. Lil' Marco offered nothing palatable. Get over it.

          And, I suspect, much less willing to aggressively confront the lib cultural forces that's for the reaction that is Trump in the first place

          Yeah, because that's what pushes policy. Confronting the lib cultural forces... to which Trump spent years donating money....oh wait

          Awesome. This is where whataboutism leads us. I would say Pelosi Reid, Schumer and Hillary Clinton are liberals and progressives.
