I do not think it makes sense to let children have a mock election, they are too young to understand all the different debates and don't realize the significance of an election. I think the children are getting the ideas from their parents, after all they look up to them. So if they know who their parents are going to vote for they will vote for the same candidate. I don't think its accurate to say that children pick the right candidate for the presidential election because they don't know anything about it. They are voting for who their parents are choosing or who their friend is going to vote for that is sitting next to them. Kids are influenced with their choices. So I don't think children can really predict the future President.
