Same here Keith. And people that I know in multiple states who are college-educated are saying the same thing about their circles of friends.
It's funny how the mainstream media keeps trying to make it appear as if only uneducated whites are planning to vote for Trump. They seem to have "forgotten" that Obama carried high school dropouts by a huge margin, and Hillary will no doubt do the same.
