Forget elite universities: IIRC exactly one of the last eight Presidential candidates (from the two parties that matters) in the general election didn't attend a private prep high school. (Hillary Clinton, is the one who didn't).

[EDIT] I know Cotton isn't one of them, I'm just pointing out that this elitism sure as hell appears to be a driving factor in who's on top in both parties.

Don't think Biden went to prep school, He didn't even go to an Ivy. So 7/9?

Edit: Correction I forgot McCain

Bush - Philips Academy

Gore - St Albans School

Kerry - St Pauls

Obama - Punahou School (On scholarship!)

McCain - Episcopal High School

Romney - Cranbrook School

Trump - New York Military Academy
