Just a couple days after Elisabeth Warren's book came out, I was handed a thumb drive from my college student grandson. It had her book on it. He said everyone was reading it on campus and sharing it. I loaded it up in my computer to read. I don't imagine students that are from privilege has much interest in the Elisabeth Warren branch of the Democratic Party.

Well who do I believe? That Harvard poll or my own lying eyes? I will stick with my own lying eyes. I call this poll useless. ABC wants you to watch them Nov. 4. They also what to get as much Koch money they can up to Nov 4 before the party ends.

My grandson was telling me about his English class at USF. The instructor asked who voted or going to vote? Most raised their hands. Then he asked who voted red and a small group raised their hands. Then he asked who voted blue twice as many raised their hands. The instructor was wanting them to get out and vote. He told them if they didn't like the results of his little poll and they have not voted they better go vote and change it.

The "came of age" voters don't blame Bush for the housing crash,

Obama was warned early on, about how to deal with the housing crisis but he ignored Roubini and Krugman; instead; Obama favored Wall street and the banksters over main street workers,

The parents of the "came of age voters" wont let that be forgotten or that Obamacare took the place of what the American people really wanted, Medicare for all

Evn the Democratic candidates are running away from Obama's policies. Wasted 8 years A place holder until the other corporatist party takes the reigns

Prosperity just around the corner. As during Nixon and Reagan.

Jimmy Carter and Obama the face of the Democratic party. American workers held hostage

Good thing Obama term is just about up, The bankers and the health insurance companies will surely miss him though.

I wouldn't say that voters who "came of age" under Obama have "no memory" of the Bush administration, since Dubya left office less than six years ago.
