16. That was the 70's. Maybe that plays as an issue with older voters, but older voters

are going for Hillary anyway. With GenX and Millennials the job concerns are with H1b visas and the slow degradation of union benefits. GenXers and Millennials are pissed at Boeing right now for blackmailing the union. They threatened the union if they didn't agree to a pension freeze the company would move the manufacturing plant to another state. Genxers and Millennials also support a $15/hr living wage, marijuana reclassification, and education. WA state has been told by the State Supreme Court it must fully fund K-12 education and has even been fined for not doing so. They still haven't done it. There are many issues that Bernie will do very well on here in WA. I have seen dozens of Bernie bumper stickers and yard signs in Seattle and even in the outer counties as well. The fact that he supports hunters rights to have guns big where I live, but he also supports reasonable gun control too. His concern for climate change will be big here too. The ski industry is very concerned about its long term survival and Puget Sound has had some major problems for a while but now it also looks like warmer waters are causing a wasting disease in certain marine wildlife as well. Also the citizens of Seattle have been fighting very hard to keep coal trains from going through the city and from coal ports being built on the coast.
