If wanting a President with a brain makes us elitist so be it...

Link to tweet

Folks were ready to impeach Obama for Presidenting while black and more educated than them...but Trump’s criminality? Nothing to see here. At least he doesn’t “talk down to us” like an elitist PROFESSOR!

Call me picky but I would rather have a leader of the free world who is not a complete moron, or a crook... heh.

others around them calling them 'dumb', 'stupid', 'ignorant', 'racist', etc. Trying to sideline the conversation into another channel to avoid being called what they truly are.

Simple. Oh, and by the way, if they (you know who I'm talking about) want to use this word 'elitist' to describe me, that's fine. I did go to school, learn many trades, and educated myself to make a decent living. Didn't you?
