It never occurred to me before this election that voters without college degrees outnumber those with by 3 to 1.

When Trump said "I love the poorly educated," I thought he meant because they were credulous. But they are also numerous.
(I knew 25% of Americans had degrees. I wrote about it in http://paulgraham.com/re.html . But I never imagined the other 75% as a voting bloc.)

Narrative is degree holders are elite. Having degree in 21st century is now similar to having wealth in communist country, face hate.

If
@pewresearch is to be trusted, college-educated go D +9 pts. Not that big margin given the dominance of progressivism in colleges.

voting bloc = political ignorance, rational ignorance or rational irrationality. Is very dangerous because it cross any segmentation
