I was driving a couple of young women to work yesterday and snorted at a sign advertizing welding jobs at $14 - $19 / hour. Keep in mind that I know that welders inhale toxic chemicals in 100+ degree heat in the summer. So I snorted.

One of the young women asked, "What?" and I said $14 isn't enough. We have a candidate for president who is advocating for $15 minimum wage. "Really, what's his name?" So I said, "Bernie Sanders. Tell everyone you know." Now she's interested.

So polling with pretend match-ups for candidates that people are only now beginning come to know? I'm not so interested.
