Trump will be fighting an old foe: The lure of something for nothin...
By Kevin “Coach” Collins
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 are the largest number of texts on “economics” on our
college campuses.
In
other words these poorly educated college graduates, who went into
college as total dependents of their parents, are coming out ready to
transfer their dependency to a huge federal government they want and
believe should keep on churning out more and more free stuff. How this
can be accomplished is a mystery these people don’t concern themselves
with.
The
optimistic view of a recent survey of voter preference for socialism
shows “only” 47% would support it. This should be of little comfort to
those who want beneficial change to come in November. A base this large
to begin with could easily swing Blue States that would otherwise be
winnable for Trump. That could give the “something for nothing” mob all
the power they need.
