58. I know a wide range of people.

May 2015

People with lots of mostly inherited money tend to vote Republican and a few continue out of "family tradition" still vote Republican though they all bitch about the candidates. Most of the people I consider friends are supporting Sanders and they tend to be involved and do a lot of reading and have specific policy concerns. The people supporting Hillary tend to be more cautious and less concerned with policy and more concerned with "beating the Republicans" than specific policies. Also many Hillary supporters have a nostalgia for the go-go Clinton years.
