Well considering he's a liar, cheat, con man, bully, bigot, arrogant, ignorant, inarticulate, rude, crude, self aggrandizing sociopath, (and that's the short list) I"d say its really tough to point to just one main reason.

I don't recall ever seeing a GOP candidate getting the majority of favorable articles though in the Reagan/Carter election it was close because Carter sucked so very badly

There is a shortage of capable journalists for the right. We always hear about fake news but those complaining never reference any go to newspapers for the right.

Journalism is a trade that appeals to urban liberals, no doubt about that.

True....would certainly be surprising if any of the MAGA hatters behind Trump at his rallies could string together two articulate sentences.

You can't back up your claim. Got it.

If someone who disagreed with your view posted that you'd say that they were lying.

I posted the citations here in the past-if you actually care you can find them. I suspect you don't care so you won't look

Are you laboring under the delusion that you Trump haters are smarter or better educated than those who are supporting Trump?

Exit polls showed the more education, the more likely 2016 voters voted for Clinton.

and the people with the least amount of education also favored Clinton. Who is better educated-a voter with a four year engineering degree for someone who has 6 years of education to become a public school teacher?

And the same for those who voted in the 2018 midterms.

the most common advanced degrees for women are in the teaching field. Teachers are strong Democrat supporters. For men, law degrees are among the most common of advanced degrees-Lawyers are strong Democrat party supporters. And that includes prosecutors (since they are publicly funded) and some civil defense attorneys (GOP pushed laws such as tort reform actually harm the ability of civil defense attorneys to make as much money)

And the 'Big Club' members have been escalating their attacks on Trump and everyone else who have the temerity to disagree or hold differing opinions or differing political positions than them. Very similar to Marxist-Leninists = no dissenting opinions permitted.

If you're talking about a broad education with a focus on critical thinking, I'd say the education degree, especially if it includes two additional years. I think a great deal of the educative value of college is interacting with your peers. Degrees that are narrowly focused and require lots of study and less socializing probably impart less of that. For some reason I find engineers often seem to think they are geniuses because they have a narrow (but financially valuable) insight into a small part of the world around them.

people who go into primary and secondary teaching generally are the lowest scoring students in a college class.

The GOP needs to change their ideology and their policies to be more acceptable to women and minorities. Their current strategy of doubling down on distracting voters from problems like health insurance by trying to scare them with dark visions of minorities and antifa terrorists hiding in their closets is starting to lose its power.

you mean like supporting crap like reparations, gun bans and higher taxes on productive people?
 
Cassandra said:
Sure. Many people vote their pocketbook which is too bad because the POTUS is only marginally responsible for the economic cycles we experience. Sure, Bill Clinton was popular as POTUS during a fairly strong economy but he also helped set the stage for the 2008 wreckage. Trump gave the country a huge tax cut so the stock market and affluent Americans are pretty happy with him. He has done nothing to enhance the economy for the long term. The deficits he has helped create will be a drag on the economy for many years. He and the Repubs continue to wax nostalgic for coal power in spite of climate change. The environment, the health care system, income disparity, relationships with allies ...just so many institutions and fine people have been trampled by this POTUS.

And I bet you are adversely affected by institutions and fine people trampled by Trump. Did you make up those talking points or did you get them from Pelosi?
I guess you didn't care about the low unemployment rates up until Feb or this year. Of course, that was Obama's doing because you certainly wouldn't want to give any credit to Trump. You think Trump created deficits? Did he alone decide to spend trillions of newly minted dollars in order to keep workers at home; keep businesses alive; give poor people food money? Now people at home are getting $600 per week bonus money so they don't have to go back to work. And that was Trump's fault , right?
So you hate Trump and you make sh!t up so you can feel better about hating him.
