to divide the country. i am going to vote for bernie this time because it looks like he has a movement going on. i watched him in el paso, san antonio, houston, the people who came up for this man, i did not believe my eyes. it look like a donald trump rally to me, even stronger. i am trying to get young people to vote because we have to have a change. we do not need a government if you have -- if you don't have social services. look at the rich people. wife isconnell's getting the grant. mcconnell mitch

voting, good morning. who are you voting for? caller: i will be a first time voter voting for president donald trump. host: how old are you? caller: i am 27 years old. host: why your first time? caller: i was part of that crowd initially that it is already predetermined like the whole conspiracy thing unlike those young men and women being interviewed as part of that segment, they claimed they were not informed. eventually, i got tired of complaining so instead of waiting for somebody to spoonfeed me information, i decided to go digging myself. build finally was able to my confidence and feel like i get to where i am informed and i can make an educated vote, that is what i decided.

i did not want to sit and wait because i feel like voting is my duty and responsibility and i think every opinion matters. i think it is easy for individuals much like myself back a couple years ago to sit and complain about the system and count -- tout all these opinions about how i think the country or world should be, but i am not doing anything. it is easier to use words. host: why would you vote for president trump? caller: for me, it is personal. because of my line of work, there were a lot of policies and things that began to weigh in

and affect my everyday life more than anything and i supported a lot of these policies because a lot of individuals i care about are affected by these policies. for me, it was a bit of a no-brainer at first. host: what do you do for a living? caller:caller: i would rather not say, not older -- not over the airwaves. host: military-related? o, ma'am. not at all. host: joey is voting for the first time, 27 years old. when they conducted the survey, they put together interviews they did with some of the here is one of the voters in west virginia.

my premiums and everything go up every year and then you are familiar with the talk -- i voted for trump last time around, so i will vote who i think is the best candidate, but i will not bother anymore because that is all republicans talked about for 10 years was better health care and lower prices on drugs and nothing has changed except mine went up again. it will save me a drive to my local poll and like many callers have said, they will tell you one thing and when they get in, they do nothing or the opposite. thanks for your time. host: can i ask before you go, what would make you vote? caller: they would have to get a candidate that took a lie detector test and he would do what he said he was going to do and he would be blocked by the

opposite party. it doesn't make any difference. for years, when i was growing up , i did not vote and as i grew older i thought it is good to have the opportunity to vote, which a lot of people don't in different countries and then they are probably just as well off, it will save them time. have as close to a dictator as we are ever going to have right now and he cannot get anything done. do you mind sharing your age and what you do for a living? caller: i am 74 years old and that is why medicare and health broke all thes me time. i keep hearing about all the drugs are going -- they are not going down at the pharmacy where i go.

premiums on blue cross blue .hield keep going up that they pay about half an exam and you pay for half your frames. they dropped that and did not tell me i did not have it anymore. since my premiums go up, i should have as good coverage as i had. i would like to see bernie -- he does not have a prayer. he does -- everybody talks about how good he is doing. you wait and see what happens when we get down to the voting. he will disappear like he did the last time. be -- iimagine it will

could not vote for a democrat .nd i am registered democrat with hillary clinton last time, there is no way i would vote for her. host: what did you do for a living? machinist fora the last 6 years at an aerospace company. host: why he is not voting, health care tops his list. also not voting, good morning. caller: morning. host: why won't you vote? i just don't see anybody i would vote for. i am 70 years old. i have listened to these people make promises for decades and once they get in there, the other side does whatever they can to stop them. when i listen to that, i usually

-- this is the game they are playing like right now. democrats are going after the republicans because that is what they did to obama. that is what they did to him. they wanted to make him a one-time president. when i listen to the american people say i have never seen a president treated like that before -- are you kidding? look what you did to the last president. i was eligible to vote in 1968 and i could name every president the american people have put in office and i have not seen one they put in office that i would brag to anybody about and when i them say the democratic party is separating the country -- this country has always been

divided. i have not seen one president they put in office that has not divided the country. look at george bush junior. that guy was the worst president. he lied to the american people. saudi arabia attacked us. what did he do when he took a sucker punch like that? he went after somebody else. in this night foundation survey they did, they asked of the 13,000 people they talk to what could motivate you to vote in more elections? they broke it down into two categories, nonvoters and the 18-24-year-olds and 22% of nonvoters said a candidate they believe in could motivate them to vote. what a 14% of 18-24-year-olds had the same answer and 15% of

they would be motivated to vote if they could do so online. information,y of if my vote would affect the outcome, a particular issue, more information on candidates, more convenient process, more time to learn, if they made voting mandatory, and more time to vote. this is some of the answers these folks gave on what would motivate them to vote. denise in georgia, planning to vote. why is that? caller: planning to vote. host: why? caller: i
