Too bad for the “give me free college” army that they love polls, but can’t bother to not sleep in for one day and go vote Comrade Sanders, LOL.

There’s a lot of generational welfare in WV. Families have the system figured out. None of the kids are interested in free college. Some leave high school at 16.

Kids know how to get on disability. Alcoholism is the ticket for many.

May 10th!

I’m kinda hoping hillary wins the nomination. She’s very unlikeable! And the bernie bot kids will either stay home or write in bernie. Either should be good news for Trump, I would think?
