    It’s funny to me that the Trump ticket is pushing this they are for the everyman and against elites…they are the elites. You can’t get more elite than a billionaire and silicon valley VC guy.

      There are two Ivy League graduates among the four major candidates on presidential tickets. They are both in the Republican party, the same party that attacks colleges as being out of touch/too liberal and destructive.

        They’re basically that Seymour Skinner meme. They go to college, don’t grow as people at all, then stand around like:

        “Did I learn nothing from my time here? No, it’s the educated who are wrong”

        I love that the GOP has essentially been trying to destroy the Ivy League since the whole Israel thing got going, but so many of them are products of said Ivy League.
