I do think that any administration that even whispered about getting rid of SS would be thrown out in a heart beat. Americans support it in large numbers

Well that's the difference between cowardly politicians and someone that stands up for what's right. I'm sick and tired of this lily livered excuse of representation at all levels in the national government. I would rather vote for a politician that knows full well they're only going to be in office for one term and will do their job than someone that is going to stay, protect their job, and pander for more votes.

I think you misunderstood me. The American people would not be supportive of a president who did what you suggest.

Conservative thinking:70% of the electorate likes SS. The fault is not with the politicians. The fault is with the 70% of the electorate who like big government SS.

Liberal thinking: 70% of the electorate likes SS. The fault is with the politicians for not protecting us from our big government loving selves.

The blame belongs squarely with the 70% who love SS. But that's not what you think.
