Donald Trump won his third straight primary in a row Tuesday, attributing his victory in part to the poorly educated voters who supported him in the Nevada caucus.

“We won the Evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated,” Trump said.

And the poorly educated love him. According to CNN, Trump, a graduate of the Wharton School of Business, polled highest in Nevada among those with a high school education or less.

Trump, to be fair, won among most people in Nevada, ultimately garnering 45.9 percent of the vote. Rubio took second place over Ted Cruz by a mere 2,000 votes, and Ben Carson and John Kasich are still technically candidates.
