Republicans have a nightmare on their hands if the white college-graduate vote breaks for Hillary Clinton. Such people are more likely to win an argument with a Trump voter with less than a college education. College educations generally make people more persuasive. Try arguing with me and I might start by suggesting that a vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for the Reagan-Bush foreign policy from which Obama has strayed little.
White college graduates used to be one of the the most reliable voting blocs for Republicans. Although the category might be different in ways from what it was fifty years ago (because college education is less a preserve of WASP elites than it was then), one might find that college-educated white people voted for Goldwater in 1964.
OK, Goldwater never had the populist streak that Trump has.
