I actually think the majority of voters do not care nearly as much about race or gender as the media suggests. Take Haley for example…She’s supported more by male republican voters than female. Something like 20% of male republicans vs 10% of females.

The crazies like this one get clicks though.
She's supported by the more educated Republican voters......of either gender

Same can be said when it comes to race.

It's why the Republicans' strategy going all the way back to the late 60s has been been to keep them dumb and without prospects

As Trump has famously said, he loves the uneducated

This doesn’t explain why she gets more male than female support which was the point being made.

Can you elaborate on your second point though? What policies are you referring to?

As for your first point, I haven't seen the numbers you're describing. I'd need to see where, what states, and the education levels of the men/women, as that would skew the results. Gender is one thing, but without knowing other details about those people, it doesn't tell a full story.

As for the second point, I mean is it even debatable this has been a GOP strategy? It's been well documented in a number of articles and books. The GOP is the party of anti-intellectualism, and has been for quite some time. As for policies to carry out that agenda, off the top of my head it would be their support for religion over science in schools, anti-abortion stances, making government, at all levels, dysfunctional so they can point to government and say, look, big government doesn't work, when it's been nothing more than a self fulfilling prophecy.

On this latter point, The Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis does a good job of describing this.

As for how GOP policy has evolved since the days of Eisenhower through the Kochs and how even they lost the plot with the rise of Trumpism, Democracy in Chains does a good job of describing this "policy" or "strategy"
 
Republicans "obsessed" with transgender porn.

Is anyone remotely surprised?
