Can't help but think that I'd like to see the lemmings go off the cliff before they had a chance to vote

I think part of it is age. I was a Hillary fan until I did my own research on her history. I would have never known about Watergate or the people who lost their jobs when she took over the white house or the mysterious deaths surrounding her etc. My boyfriend is the one who told me to dig deeper. I'm glad he did, because holy crap. Then Benghazi came about and I was beyond done with her. It's not an excuse for them, but unless they open the closet to find the skeletons, they weren't alive to see them all go on.

I saw and interesting article saying that most millennial's in surveys will vote for Hillary. The problem is getting them off the couch into the voting poll is a different story. Whereas Trump supporters are counting down the days to vote. Just food for thought.....

Why do I have to be classified as a Millennial? Seriously, it's a bit degrading :confused5

For the same reason I am classified as a Generation X'er, all depends on WHEN you were born.

I had the same problem, still do. People think I'm older than I am and have since I was 20. When I was in my late 20s, a waiter at Chili's thought I was the dad of my 2 younger brothers; the youngest of which is only 3.5 years younger than I am. I count it as a plus to have learned the wisdom from an older generation at a younger age. Something that many of the students at these schools have failed to do in their 18+ years on this planet. One can hope that they learn sooner than later though.

Just like the old saying I heard many years ago that "if you are not a liberal at 20, you have no heart and if you are not a conservative at 40 you have no brain." :biggrinjester:

With today's rising cost of college, is it any wonder that college students are swayed by the siren song of "Free College" and no student debt, which is what both Bernie and Hillary have suggested? Unfortunately the reality is another old saying that "there is no such thing as a free lunch." Everything costs someone something so if you promise free college, someone has to pay and that is the taxpayer until they are completely tapped out and the whole country is bankrupt.

Unfortunately my problem is I act older, but I can still pass for 18. A couple of times people have thought my boyfriend was my dad...it made me uncomfortable when we first started dating, now I'd probably just lean in and ask him to kiss me. Let them be the uncomfortable ones. Lol.

Just the fact that you had to look into Hitlaries history, tells me that your brain and logic skill are still in the early development stages. At least they are developing and in the right direction too. :thumbs2:

While you only touched on a couple of the atrocities, Hitlery has committed, In all fairness, she was not responsible for the Watergate scandal, that happened under Nixon. But Watergate is laughable compared to the trail of destruction in Slick Willy and Hellery left behind.

Probably referencing the other "water" scandal, "Whitewater" and the Rose Law Firm records that disappeared.
