    Here is a custom made, gift wrapped, manna-from-heaven entree into middle-income, middle-class America that the Democrats running for President are too blind to see and too tone-deaf to listen to. I went to ontheissues.org and looked at the education positions for several of the front-runners and the words “vocational education” are not anywhere on there to the best of my knowledge. Although all do support making the first few years of college free.

    Campaigns are about winning; nothing else. You can’t govern if you do not win. And one of the ways you win is knowing what is important to voters. Drawing a distinction between vocational and what is thought of as traditional education is not only good messaging, it’s something vitally needed in this nation—more tradesmen and craftspersons. One way they could do this is to say to Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public, “If you or your child doesn’t want to go to a traditional university, my plan will be just as strong to support your desired outcomes; whether it’s turning pages in a text book or turning a wrench on an engine block; whether it is learning how to operate on a human or operate a bulldozer; whether it is landing your partnership in a law firm or landing a private plane….”

    That the Democrats running for office (thus far) are not hammering this topic when it is a very easy way to tap into the working class is really dumb politics.
    I totally agree this is an important issue the dems MUST ADDRESS & one that hillary paid lil more than lip service to, to her own detriment, IMHO!!

    I do not agree that dems, the left or anyone has an exclusive on smug, arrogant or even condescending attitudes towards others~perceived rivals.....
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Very true. The politics of this topic seems like a no-brainer if you’re the Democratic Party. Not only would heavily investing in vocational education strengthen the nation, it would salve some wounds they have with the average Americans.

    I guess he doesn't know there are specialized degrees. Like a Bachelor of Science Electrical Engineering, Aviation Managment, Aviation Electronics. Etc.

    Gee what is your degree in? Let me guess a BA with a major in advanced sanctuary city administration.

    Stop watching Fox. Most Liberals aren't Marxists.
