Nielson letter: Status quo candidates

In the primaries, I’m seeing something that politician wannabes best heed: a large growth of young voters no longer satisfied with this “status quo” of Republican and Democrat candidates. Looking at Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders backers, if voters got the opportunity to vote for any two of these wannabes, from both sides, I doubt that Ted Cruz or Hillary Clinton would be one of them.
