UpNorthNews reporter Salina Heller has a story about the important role to be played next month by college students. Once seen as an apathetic block barely worth candidates’ attention, today’s generation of students can be true difference-makers—they know it and are politically active in a way that hasn’t been seen in a couple of generations. Also: Donald Trump and Eric Hovde play the “they/them” card in a way meant to divide rather than unite voters tired of political mudslinging.
