Which I translate to mean many there aren't that smart, and don't see the need for higher education.

No offense to you SD folks here, who are obviously much smarter than most in your state!
I live in the gerrymandered state of NC, where rump won with only 49.83%. But I'm in a red district that also went for him and Meadows by 60%.

FYI. I had a career in higher education, and crunch numbers for fun. After the election I compiled a list of the bad(stupid) states that he won, along with the percentages. I also have a list of the good(smart) states.
