Educated people tend to lean liberal and conservatives hate open minded people.

It's this. People with good educations will figure out that the Republicans are lying to them to take advantage of them. Republicans don't want their pigeon/fools to think too hard about the lies they tell.

Look at Trump. Is he an obvious liar? Yes. But there are very "poorly educated" people who believe all the lies he says.

Right. We missed our chance when Hillary didn't get in. I can't see why people imply she's dishonest.

People in education tend to lean liberal. Conservatives don't hate people but they do realize there's such thing as being so open minded your brains spill out.
