If the Republicans believed in higher education they probably.understand what he meant.

For two years the Republicans have been saying that you shouldn't listen to Trump's words but rather what he means. Another instance of the Republican hypocrisy.

evidence please?

we don’t enthusiastically endorse waste or indoctrination. education, yes.

which side opposes school
choice, can you remind me, i forgot?

to democrats, “supporting education” means giving more
money to teachers unions, so that much of that money will
get donated to democratic political campaigns. But it doesn’t necessarily improve the quality of the education being offered.

Spending more, isn’t necessarily the same thing, as supporting education.

Your right spending more isn't necessarily the same thing as supporting education but it is a very good proxy.

Did you ever ask yourself if a lot of it is deserved? College campuses have been losing there minds the past few years.

It is bc conservatives don't like science and the schools piss conserv. off bc of that? Conserv. didn't support colleges as much as liberals far longer than the past few years.

I'm not sure Harvard's School of West Sri-Lankan Genderfluid Archeology Department is higher education than Perdue's Aerospace Engineering program.

*Some* of higher ed's famed institutions have jumped the rails reality.

Funny, my daughter just graduated from a Southern Baptist (Assuming they lean right), University, that's located in a "Red State", with a degree in BioChemistry (I think that qualifies as a science)

conservatives don’t like
engineering and
medicine? gimme a break...you’re
making stuff up out of thin air.

conservatives are probably resisting the science of climate change for political reasons, just as liberals deny the science of unborn baby development in pursuit of their own political agenda. both sides play dumb when it suits them.
