As the Republican primary process heads south, with the next stop in South Carolina, an important factor will be lurking just below the surface: The Democrat voters’ thirst for free stuff now, free stuff tomorrow and free stuff forever.
The support for Comrade Bernie Sanders among young people, who by definition have always been pampered and paid for, shows a lop-sided tilt toward the lure of something for nothing. A final pre-New Hampshire survey among 18 to 30 year olds showed nearly 90% backed Sanders, a man who has promised everything with little mention of how these “goodies†would be paid for. Because this voting bloc is notoriously volatile and has previously failed to show up to cast their ballots, it is tempting to dismiss this factor as a mere curiosity.
Nevertheless, the real problem for Donald Trump, the likely Republican presidential nominee, will be the over-all 42% of Democrats and over-all 17% of Republicans who have a favorable view of the type of “free stuff†socialism Sanders has built his campaign around. Moreover this infatuation with something for nothing is not merely a passing fancy. This is especially true for young voters who have been indoctrinated with the lies of Karl Marx, as suggested by the fact that books on his failed theories represent the largest number of texts on “economics†on our college campuses.
In other words these poorly educated college graduates...

Hillary has already wrapped up this nomination. She’s got 90% of the delegates and even won last night (15 to 13).
She will sweep the south against the elderly Socialist Atheist Jew and be the nominee.
Treating the Dem election like a real contest is just media trying to generate press for their side.
Sounds like Trump is the only candidate heading South now.
This is the battle; illogical morons with their lips permanently fastened to government tits outnumber those of us who are paying for it all. That is a fact. Trump represents the only hope for getting enough crossover and independent votes to overcome those tit sucking parasites. Cruz simply will not pull in enough votes to do it. Trump is the only chance we have.
I will vote for whoever is the republican nominee but none but Trump stand a chance at winning this fall. The popularity of Sanders, and by default socialism, coupled with the fact the number of parasites outnumber those who make up the host proves that beyond any doubt in my mind.
“She’s got 90% of the delegates and even won last night (15 to 13).”
Shows how skewed the dimoKKKRATS are. Bernie beat her by 20+ points and has fewer delegates to show for it.
Well the good news is that the 18-30 year olds only show up at the polls if there is nothing else going on. :-)
I think Trump is almost as big a fan of free stuff as Sanders is.
The (true) 47% theory that cost Romney the 2012 election.
So hold a big rave on Election Day?
Whether a true Tytler quote or not it is still true and people still want something for nothing.
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the people discover they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy—to be followed by a dictatorship.”
- Alexander Fraser Tytler
Great idea. :-)
