Lefties like to point out that the college-educated favored Hillary over Trump.  But so what?  Apart from the STEM disciplines, the colleges and universities of the land have become leftist seminaries, hotbeds of political correctness, and centers of Higher Infantilization.  They have strayed far from their original charter.<\/span><\/p>\n

So of course the college-indoctrinated will favor Hillary the leftist nanny-stater.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leftists also crow over the fact that Hillary won the popular vote.  But again, so what?  Lefties congegate in certain densely populated enclaves wherein  'correct' views are enforced and 'incorrect' ones excluded.  Most people, being highly suggestible, simply imbibe the circumambient suggestions.  Few people form their political and social beliefs by any process of deep study and hard thinking.  The more impressionable people crammed into places like San Francisco and New York City, the more leftist group-think.  People naturally want to be liked, accepted, and get ahead.  They go along to get along.<\/span><\/p>\n

So how significant is it that Hillary won the popular vote?<\/span><\/p>\n

But the finally trumping consideration is that our great system of government bequeathed to us by the greatest generation, that of the founders, prescribes that it is the members of the Electoral College, not the populace at large who decide presidential elections.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get over it, punks.  You lost.<\/span><\/p>\n
