Seth Meyers’ amusing commentary reports that poll numbers favor Bernie Sanders, and in fact most young voters would rather have a beer with the self described Democratic- Socialist than with Beyonce! Where they polled so many young men who were accompanied and influenced by their significant other is not known, but Bernie is clearly the choice of most younger voters.
Bernie is seen playing basketball with a pen protector in his pocket. I can only guess that the young people, with their love of steam Punk, ragged beards, and other icons from the past may see Bernie as cool too. Whatever the draw is, Bernie’s policies are such that the poor and middle classes would enjoy basics such as education and healthcare, whereas Republican policies would continue to favor the top one percent. Basically we’re voting to decide whether Mittens can install a couple more car elevators this year, or whether we can enjoy education and health.
A chuckle please – for Bill O’Reilly who claims he will flee to Ireland if a presidency by Bernie Sanders is a reality, he won’t live in such a world! A gold star for Seth’s researcher who verified that Ireland is one of the countries which already provides free college and university education as well as basic healthcare. It already is – such a world.
Seth’s anualysis is enlightening and funny, but there is a sobering side for Bernie enthusiasts. Seth concludes; “Polls don’t mean much….first Bernie has to go through a primary. Depending upon young voters could be problematic, because many kids will be on Spring Break as voting gets started. ” My advice -Get your absentee ballot now.
