College age men, you think anything Trump has done has affected them yet? NO.... Almost everyone I know voted for Bernie first (with a few exceptions, we didn't have arguments over it, we're on the same team), and all but college age men voted for Hillary in the election. When those college age guys get picked up for smoking pot or their parents lose their jobs that pay their tuition, or the student loans and grants they rely on change or go away, they'll be thinking a little differently.... give it time IMHO. Betsy hasn't really gotten to work yet...
