Youth Vote Will Sway 2016 Election

Young voters already appear more energized than ever about the upcoming 2016 election. This could be because they’ve had enough of the status quo politics that has dominated their lives, and because they have gotten the short end of the stick on a string of issues in recent years.

Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio discusses the importance of the youth vote and who these young voters are leaning towards with Richard Fowler, host of The Richard Fowler Show.

I suppose a lot of this is the misplaced belief that a President, once elected, can singlehandedly fix the country's problems without any input from Congress and in spite of overwhelming Congressional stonewalling.

How many times have we heard this?

I think it can be true, but most the time isn't.
