HRC Tweet: How does your student loan debt make you feel? Tell us in 3 emojis or less.

Hint HRC, a lot of people who are still paying off student loans are in their 30's 40's 50's and beyond. Instead of a flippant one off, how about you ask a substantial adult question on the subject and maybe we all can have an grown up conversation?

If this needs to go to Primaries, feel free to move.
