Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumHow many Dems here under 65 with kids living at home believe Sanders is unelectable?
I'm just curious how skewed this page is.
Do you have adults children who couldn't afford a post-secondary education living at home?
Are you at home, but being cared for outside of Medicare?

(13,776 posts)We talk about politics literally daily--usually twice daily. (We talk on the phone a lot.) So I definitely know what she's thinking, but I'm not sure if I qualify to say "yes" to your question.

They both support Warren, but Sanders is their second choice. Neither of them think that any of our candidates are unelectable.
I think any of our candidates can win too, if we all get our butts out and vote. Trump hasn't gained a whole lot of support, but he's probably lost some.

(4,764 posts)In 1972 I was in my very early 20's and attended a couple of McGovern Rallies. The crowds were huge (mostly young people) and the energy was through the roof. I was convinced he was going to win. I remember election night. It was devastating.

(17,865 posts)Bernie is her last choice. She agrees with me that he will lose Wisconsin and thus the election. Won't stop us for voting for him in the General Election, but be prepared for a wipe out.
I did fully pay for both my daughters' college education (BS Mechanical Engineering and BS Nursing). They had a few small scholarships, but no student loans.
I am a mid-level engineer, and my wife hasn't worked outside the home for 25 years, and when she did, she was part time at or near minimum wage. I really get tired of two income families with at at least one spouse making more than me whining about how expensive college is, and I can see how well education debt forgiveness will go over with the factory workers and farmers that I work with.

(13,485 posts)beat tRump but I am least confident of Bernie in that regard. After last night Bloomberg would be my second choice in that lack of confidence.

(1,997 posts)They all realize that his free college gimmick its just that
a gimmick. Once it gets put through the legislative process, smarter minds will prevail and conclude that tax payer money should be used judiciously to make sure only those who need financial assistance for college receive it.
We are in California, and two have already voted for Buttigieg while the third was deciding between Klobuchar and Buttigieg as of yesterday - but Im pretty sure the debate threw her into Petes camp.
And yes, all three took out loans, or will have to take out loans for college. We have insurance through the ACA.

(68,667 posts)not only will Sanders lose the Presidency, he will lose the house, he will lose any chance at the Senate, he will lose governorships and legislatures (in a census year) as well. In short, it will be a disaster of epic proportions for our party and our nation.
