THE LURE OF 'FREE STUFF' MAY IGNITE DEMOCRATS VOTES

Trump will be fighting an old foe: The lure of something for nothin...

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.
