Related: About this forumJoy Reid surprised: she's finding no passion for Hillary in S.C. today.
Andrea Mitchell is stunned by Joy's report, she said.
Reid says there is just nothing for Hillary in the people she is talking to.
Capehart is on now, and they are playing the clip of John Lewis.
Mitchell is repeating the "kerfuffle."
Now Capehart is waffling a bit on the veracity of the story.

Thanks for the link.

(50,303 posts)Did you happen to see the interview with the college students later in the hour? A pretty, young, blond girl was asked how she felt about free college tuition and she said she was opposed to it because she was paying for her own college and didn't want her degree devalued because just anyone could go to college if it was free. At that point I yelled at the television, calling her a nasty name only reserved for the worst of the worst. LOL. Can you imagine? I've got mine, to heck with poor students.

(3,623 posts)It seems young people just don't want to be told what to think. The more they talk down to us, the less likely we are to listen to them. How successful have their policies been in the last 30 years? It is a legitimate question that the young people of this country are asking.

(154,021 posts)the young do not want to listen to their elders... and their elders, GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
In 30 or 40 years it will be you going, kids!
So I do not particularly find it surprising. What I find surprising is that some in the media establishment are seemingly surprised by this.

It's anecdotal, but it still bodes well for Bernie in SC.

I think it's falling apart very quickly for Secretary Clinton.
