Opposition to Trump nearly unites the rising generation.

In a hypothetical Clinton v. Trump contest in November, voters under 35 would choose Clinton by a crushing 52%-19%, a preference that crosses demographic lines. Among whites, she'd be backed by nearly 2-1, 45%-26%. Among Hispanics, by more than 4-1, 61%-14%. Among Asian Americans, by 5-1, 60%-11%. Among African Americans, by 13-1, 67%-5%.

1. Note that over 25 % says "f*ck this sh*t I'm staying home"

Stunning enthousiasm-engendering on Clinton's part!

[mythology]

4. Since when does 1 in 5 equal over 25%?

I suck at math and I know that's wrong.

[Betty Karlson]

10. 52 + 19 = 71. Meaning that 29 % wouldn't vote for either.

6. Because voting for the lesser evil is such a wonderful campaign strategy.

8. That's what we ran on in both 2010 and 2014

"who else are those f*cking retareded pony-wanters gonna vote for?"

The results were... not encouraging enough to try the same strategy when the White House is at stake. Is that a fair statement?

[kristopher]

13. Would "permanent Republican supermajority" fit in there somewhere?

We should also probably consider the losing trend in governorships and state legislatures we've been experiencing.

16. Debbie has some very good friends in the GOP.

Where do you think she got the ideas for all those dirty tricks of hers. These used to be the domain of Repoublicans only. But in returned for some secured seats (Ross-Lehtinen, R-FL) she may have been let in on the know-how.

2. was this ever in doubt?

What's in doubt is IF they even vote.

[Punkingal]

3. Sure, if they would go vote.

That's the question.

[UglyGreed]

5. But they don't vote

and I bet that there will be even more who don't bother when they have a candidate who preaches "no we can't"

[Lizzie Poppet]

7. Saying so to a pollster =/= actually showing up on Election Day.

Hillary would NOT stimulate young voter turnout to even remotely the level Bernie would.

9. "Millennial women now back Sanders by a jaw-dropping 61%-30%"

"In the new poll, one in five Millennials say they would just stay home on Election Day. That's a signal that, if she wins the nomination, Clinton may well need Sanders' help to energize younger voters."

Interesting data from the OP article

14. It's getting funny how eager

the politicos are getting to sew this up for Clinton.

They are so puzzled why a person that lost in 2008 isn't going to lose again in 2016.

[UglyGreed]

15. All those poor young

women spending eternity in Hell

[Zorra]

19. Millennial men are only supporting Bernie because that's where the girls are.

[UglyGreed]

20. He heeee!!!

well played, well played indeed!!!!

[NCTraveler]

11. I think only a small invested were the ones not to understand this. Nt

[Aerows]

12. "Polls show that polls

have their heads up their behinds."

[bettyellen]

21. That's the truth, Ruth!

[mhatrw]

17. LOL. I love how the Clinton narrative changes weekly.

For the last several months, all we have heard from the Hillarians is that it doesn't matter that Sanders is the only candidate who excites young voters because young voters never vote.

Now these same young voters who supposedly never vote are going to "flock to" a candidate who excites them as much as a trip to the dentist for a root canal?

Sure, they strongly prefer Clinton to Trump. They also strongly prefer rancid dog meat to Trump. That doesn't mean they are going to get off their asses to vote for rancid dog meat.

18. Not any millennials I know. They see her as part of the problem.

She is the symbol of a broken system, and they want no part of that.

The only ones I know "flocking" to Hillary are aging low-information viters.

[Avalux]

22. This is how they convince millenials that millenials will vote for Clinton.

Start with quoting a poll, then talk about it as if it's a fact.
