> However, how does one bring forward the 43% that appears to agree so strongly with Trump there isn't really any common ground to have a reasonable discussion around? How do you go about working with someone that is uneducated.
That someone isn't uneducated just because she/he doesn't align with one's thinking.
The Economist: Where Donald Trump’s support really comes from:
'However, averaging out his support in all state primaries (where exit polling is available) shows that richer and better educated voters form as big a part of Mr Trump’s support base as those at the lower end of the income and education scales.'[0]

- Locke1689 10y agoThe Washington Post[0] has it broken down by demographics since June. As you can see, as of October 13th, Trump's only lead in education is among voters who have completed "some college", with Clinton having a huge lead among those with college degrees and postgraduate degrees. She even has a narrow lead among those with a high school education or less.
