But if/when that plan (or any like it) are proposed, I'm sure the one's nearing retirement won't get a hit, it'll be staged like the 1983 plan.

To be clear, I expect it to torpedo her campaign. Most people under say 40 years old have heard that Social Security won't be around when they become eligible anyway so they have no interest in keeping it around. Add that to what you said and she has no shot.
