the less educated Clinton supporters and the college educated Sanders supporters view things differently not because of education, but because of life experience?
That the college educated Sanders supporters can afford to be idealistic, but Clinton supporters know they must be pragmatic?
That maybe Clinton supporters see Sanders and are able to see beyond the rhetoric? Oh, that wonderful rhetoric, saying what we all want to hear. But that's all it is, rhetoric. This is a man that in three decades in congress has accomplished nothing except naming a couple of post offices. Other than that, he has only pushed the yes or no button, and talked, talked talked.
I just don't see how as president he will be able to accomplish what he couldn't in congress.
This is a man who hasn't gotten a single endorsement from the people he works with (and would work with if elected). How can he get anything done when they don't even support him.
Maybe Clinton supporters see that.
And then Sanders supporters go on and on about a revolution sweeping the nation...they'll gamble the election on Sanders, because if he loses, oh well, life goes on... maybe next time. They think this way, because they can afford to.
Clinton supporters are pragmatic, because life has taught us to be. A GOP win would have devastating effect on many of us.
We see Hillary as a continuation of President Obama's accomplishments. She'll work, build and expand on them. We truly believe this is the most realistic and best outcome for the GE
Can you see we don't come from a place of ignorance, and we're not "low-information voters"? That we can have the same information and come to different conclusions?
