In February 2016, when Donald Trump was merely one of several contenders for the Republican U.S. presidential nomination (and still considered something of a longshot), he surprised many pundits by winning the preponderance of delegates in three straight contests: the New Hampshire primary, the South Carolina primary, and the Nevada caucus. Contemporaneous reporting of the latter contest noted that Trump did particularly well among less educated voters: Afterwards, in a speech to supporters, Trump touted how many different demographic groups he won in Nevada, declaring that We won the evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated, before exclaiming I love the poorly educated!: As is often the case, it was difficult to discern whether Trump's remark about loving the poorly educated was meant literally or ironically or jokingly. Some observers reacted to it with dismay, while others defended it.
