Once again, the reasoned decisions of many educated people with cosmopolitan life experiences to vote for Donald Trump is being written off and the Trump base is being wrongly depicted as limited to the "non-educated white working class."  I am highly educated, have spent most of my professional career working and traveling for the United Nations, and voted for Trump in order to break the hold of the Clinton machine on American politics, and because Trump articulated a coherent policy agenda and a pragmatic approach to implementing it, which I thought had merit. As far as I am concerned, the jury is still out on whether he will succeed, but I do not regret my vote.
