Donald Trump Terrifies GOP’s Young Voters, But They Love Bernie Sanders

A new report has delivered some horrible news for Republicans – youth voters (REPUBLICAN youth voters) are scared to death by Donald Trump, but they really like what Senator Bernie Sanders has to say.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Their financiers do not like those issues, do not care about those issues, find those issues anathema.

Lower taxes solve every problem they say!

In my opinion your comment exemplifies the problems we have as a country in our political system. Young GOP leaning voters (or they think they are, clearly. Probably having been raised my conservatives.) like Bernie and that's a problem!?

That's why Beenie is an excellent choice. He moves the country left and makes others wake up and realize "big government" is not bad, as long as there is a healthy balance.

Comments/attacks like yours are part of the problem we have as Americans when trying to accomplish substantial differences for the 99%. Stop making it us vs them, because this is a country of "we the people."

End rant. I apologize too, not trying to be offensive, merely shocked at your comment. Typed this up on iPhone so sorry is any typos.

Check out the Bernie Sanders Group here. Look on the left side for the Topics list. It's in the Democrats section.

could move us left. At some point they'll leave the Republican fold, and not by pandering to their parents' bias.

It does make it easier, but it's a distraction. The war is between the 1% and their puppets, both Republicon and Democrat and the 99%. Sen Sanders represents the 99% while HRC represents the billionaires that back her.

Especially when they're supporting the most liberal candidate in the pack. Maybe as young people, they're just finally waking up to what is really in their best interests.

We'll probably have these bickerings for many more years as a way for people to get stuff off their chest. But I'm not good at being a prognosticator. That's for the PHd people.

leave the Independent status and move to the Democrat Party. They too can move to the Democrat Party. Setting a rationale and mind set before a speech is very important.
