If college kids’ political views are a clue to the nation’s future, America is headed over a left-wing cliff. Consider: A recent Chegg/College Pulse poll found 69% of students say they’d vote for a Democrat in 2020, while just 23% back President Trump. Yet for voters of all ages, recent RealClearPolitics poll averages put the president within 7 points of the top Dems (Joe Biden, Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders).Among kids who lean Democratic, Chegg found, more than half back Sanders (28%) or Warren (30%) — the two left-most wannabes.

Is it any wonder? Academics have been pushing the failed concept of socialism hard for over 50 years in this country.

If You Are Not a Liberal at 25, You Have No Heart. If You Are Not a Conservative at 35 You Have No Brain
Not to be a républicain at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head.
If you’re not a socialist before you’re twenty-five, you have no heart; if you are a socialist after twenty-five, you have no head.
If you aren’t a liberal when you’re young, you have no heart, but if you aren’t a middle-aged conservative, you have no head.
The Leftists that have taken over our Universities where the young skulls full of mush go to be indoctrinated have taken over our society. Time to reverse that.
I propose all Leftists be sent to FEMA Camps for 'reeducation'!

Our schools are government run. Why are we surprised that they train their students to love the government? I am shocked at what comes out of the mouths of today's youth. Everything they have learned is wrong.

To rephrase a popular Moody Blues lyric: I'm frightened of our children.

Having never worked a day in their lives, it's not surprising they find the Socialist world-view so attractive.
But having graduated, there are only so many politically based non-profits to work for. Unless the Dems win, jobs in the Deep State will shrink.The rest will have to seek employment in the dreaded private sector, make living arrangements that don't include a dorm. or Mom and Dad's house.
Life is the real reality show, and dawn will break over Marblehead for these youths, and most will realize their "Higher Calling" is to Wife, Kida, and Career, rather than Socialist dogma.

It is a concern but once they think about what left-wing policies actually would do, many will recoil. For example, Dems are talking about cutting off natural resources to 'save the planet'. One cold, snowy weekend will prove how absurd that is.

Just a reminder, in 2020 Florida democrats are not only going to have 1.5 million felon votes to harvest, they're going to have legalizing pot on the ballot to get the young'ins out to vote - the ones in love with socialism and the green new deal.

It was Winston Churchill (who else) who said "If you are Conservative at twenty you have no heart. If you are Labor at forty you have no brains." Hopefully that will be true here too.

I was a subscriber to National Review (lo those many years ago) in my early teens. That said, I'm not too worried about these kids' liberalism/socialism. Reality will hit them in the face soon enough. The greater threat is invaders from south of the border who are stupid and used to top down socialism/statism.

Progressives/Democrats have been working for decades to convert the school systems from centers of learning to progressive dogma indoctrination centers. If the Chegg/College Pulse poll is correct, they have succeeded.

I suspect that a lot of the kiddos, IF they are actually registered ..and look out the bedroom window and find any sort of "bad" weather..they will just pull the covers over their head and stay in bed...

#8 The push is on in FL because they can't vote until some criteria is met. We have Morgan to thank for marijuana. He hasn't been as vocal this time. He was told about his potty mouth after medical pot lost the first go around.
We should be afraid of these spoiled kids. They lack empathy.
Three things changed this country:
They took prayer out of school
They stopped the draft
Mothers went to work
Parents that went through the depression wanted to make sure their kids were taken care of and never knew lack. Then there was Dr Spock. And here we are.
Everybody should know what it is to be hungry or broke and a lot humble at some point in their life. The parents of these kids is just as stupid. We are working on a second or third generation of spoiled.
