With all due respect, Lenny? When politicians basically try and buy votes with give-a-ways like forgiving student debt they're going to woo a certain percentage of the population who benefits from that but that doesn't mean they've really changed the political outlook of that population. Once they've had their debt forgiven? Do they then vote for the party that provides them the better future? Or are they somehow beholden to the party that gave them a get out of jail free card with their debt? Call me cynical but I don't think this buys the Democrats anything long term. It might keep them from getting absolutely crushed in the next mid term but that's about it.I think people are jumping to conclusions based on one or two polls.
As Republicans, we counted on getting votes from Cuban-Americans. We can still rely on the older Cuban-Americans, but not the younger ones. Older Cuban-Americans remember how bad Cuba was under Castro. The same cannot be said for younger Cuban-Americans. Last election they interviewed younger Cuban-Americans who were concerned about student loans. Guess who they were voting for?
If our demographics change as predicted, America will be in big trouble.
