With students: at the college where I am on the union board, students are given cards to dine at the college cafeteria. A week ago, I attended a fundraiser where they raised $45,000 for those cards in less than 5 minutes.

When I commented on it to my colleague, who at one time was a trump supporter, she said, “But you do notice they (the students) all have the latest cell phones.”

Which is kind of irrelevant because a) they don’t all have the latest cell phones, and b) so many transactions today require a cell phone.

But that’s how republicans think.
