SHOCK Reuters Poll: Among Millennials, Bernie 70%, Hillary 22%

[reformist2]

It's amazing how few young people support Hillary. How does her campaign have any ground game without young people????

1. Minorities. Most of us dont trust your guy. nt

[Lizzie Poppet]

10. Obama needed BOTH in order to win.

Hillary has one. The problem is obvious...

[LexVegas]

13. Minorities dont trust Sanders. Never will. Sorry. nt

[Lizzie Poppet]

21. Young voters don't trust Hillary. Never will. Only I'm not sorry.

They have an actual reason (okay, dozens of them) for mistrust. Minorities and Sanders? Nope. His record is decades long and exemplary. Not trusting him on matters of civil rights is irrational.

[LexVegas]

22. HRC will win. With her Berniebro marginalized minorities. Scoreboard. nt

[Lizzie Poppet]

34. "Berniebro"

Ah, thanks for the heads-up...you're one of those.

Jesus, my Ignore list is getting big...

[LexVegas]

37. I would like to think Bernie isnt doing it, just lots of his supporters. nt

[jfern]

50. Such a gutter campaign you are running

[giftedgirl77]

26. Maybe he should've come to the ghetto since that's where all of us live?

That's how well he knows minorities.

[Cheese Sandwich]

24. You should speak for yourself, instead of trying to speak for all the "minorities"

Individual people vote for whoever they want. No ethnic or racial group in this country is a monolith.

[LexVegas]

27. Go say that in the "kids love Bernie" threads. nt

[HerbChestnut]

30. So flipping condescending.

It's posts like yours that make this forum downright unpleasant sometimes.

[LexVegas]

31. Not the Hillary is evil...Confederate minority threads, huh? nt

[Lizzie Poppet]

35. The Ignore list is your friend.

Seriously...life is too short to bother with that sort of inanity.

[HerbChestnut]

38. I have to admit, I finally gave into it

I've never liked the idea of using the ignore list, but these past few weeks have been almost unbearable. I like coming to this forum to get up to date campaign news and maybe have a healthy discussion on the issues, but that's not often what gets posted here anymore.

[Lizzie Poppet]

40. Prior to un-Trashing GD: P a few weeks ago, I had five names on my Ignore list.

Over thirty now...

I dun screwed up...should have left it Trashed.

[grasswire]

28. because............? nt

[BlindTiresias]

44. Oh cool a spokesperson for all minorities.

How are you doing? Is it difficult to literally represent all minorities and speak for them considering it is such a broad group? Very impressive!

[NuclearDem]

23. Young people aren't turning out to vote for Sanders.

And if you think they're going to turn out in droves to vote for Trump in the general, then I can't help you.

[seabeyond]

14. Adults. Most of us have had experience and thought it thru. Nt

[revbones]

56. Good response tactic of "Hey look over there"

Really provides relevance and thoughtful commentary.

[DanTex]

2. If only we lived in Children of the Corn...

[hrmjustin]

12. .

[Bleacher Creature]

3. If only they actually voted. . .

And I'm pretty confident that the GOP will do a great job pushing the ones that do vote back into the Clinton camp by November.

[Renew Deal]

4. Bernie is down by almost 3 million actual votes

So a lot more need to show up

[livetohike]

5. That's the only demographic he is capturing.Too bad he can't motivate them to

to vote.

[Karma13612]

19. That's simply untrue.

Bernie has plenty of older voters, and lots of female voters.

I'm 62, female, college educated, but not well off economically.

He speaks directly to my values and goals for this country.

[Chichiri]

6. Web poll. Buh bye. nt

[lunamagica]

7. It's hard to compete with free college...just saying

[johnnyrocket]

60. So why doesn't Hillary support free college?

[lunamagica]

61. Didn't you see Sanders backpedaling from free college on the last town hall?

Last edited Fri Mar 18, 2016, 04:41 PM - Edit history (1)

When pressured to answer how he would pay for free college, he said he had never advocated for free college and took a position much closer to Hillary.

This after months of promising it.

[tk2kewl]

8. The dismissive attitude of Hillary supporters toward millenials is the real shocker.

Bernie has similar numbers with everyone under 40 and indies.

CNN Michigan exit poll

Under 45
Sanders 65%
Clinton 32%

Indies
Sanders 71%
Clinton 28%

[Lizzie Poppet]

11. Winning is the only thing that matters to them.

Go favorite brand! Go!

[tk2kewl]

16. She's likely to tank the brand

[Lizzie Poppet]

25. After the likely November bloodbath, there will be HUGE changes.

I'm not a Democrat...but I would l love to become one again (I initially registered that way as a wide-eyed 18-year-old). When it comes to its senses and stops being a center-right, slightly-saner alternative to a GOP that's lost its fucking mind...and not a moment sooner.

Actually, I guess I technically am a Democrat right now: switched from Independent to vote in my state's closed primary.

[seabeyond]

18. No. Getting a Democrat with her feet on the ground, the experience and credentials, the

intelligence and ability to get things done matters to us.

[litlbilly]

51. You must be talking about Elizabeth Warren right?

[seabeyond]

57. I haven't done the research on warren and she doesn't have nearly the experience.

At first glance she looks good but so did Sanders. I would have to educate myself and hear a hell of a lot more from here before she gets my vote.

[litlbilly]

58. so did? past tense? what the fuck is wrong with you people? I will pick good judgement

over your so called experience any day.

[seabeyond]

59. Wtf is wrong with people that prefer making informed decisions? Really? You are really arguing that?

[JudyM]

63. If you weren't as informed as you assume you are, you would never know.

[Jitter65]

15. I haven't heard Hillary be dismissive of millennials.

She said even if they were not for her she was for them. Stop making up stuff.

[tk2kewl]

29. Why didn't she join Bernie in his Ohio suit?

Why isn't her campaign pushing voter registration on college campuses?

http://www.alternet.org/story/73782/hillary_clinton's_dirty_campaign_tactics

And in Iowa, the Clinton campaign -- with the help of the state's largest newspaper, the Des Moines Register, which endorsed her -- was discouraging students from returning from winter break to vote, even though their right to do so was legal, said Rick Hasen, who writes a respected election law blog. "Indeed such voting could help to compensate for the otherwise anti-democratic nature of Iowa's role in the presidential election process," he said.

I check what she does and doesn't do and compare that to what she says. I've learned not to just take Hillary's word for things

[tk2kewl]

62. oh and for the record...

i just reread my post that you replied to... i didn't even say Hillary herself was dismissive... i said her supporters were being dismissive

[Lizzie Poppet]

9. Not exactly a shock, though, is it?

No way young voters are going to turn out for Hillary in November.

Bloodbath.

[grossproffit]

17. Which is why he's winning!

[NuclearDem]

20. Considering she's winning the popular vote by over 2.5 million

I'd say her ground game is doing just fine.

Sanders, on the other hand, seems entirely dependent on the most fickle voting blocs in the country.

[Land of Enchantment]

32. Righto! 2 1/2 million Bible Belters. Wow. And in red states where she WILL NOT win in GE.

[NuclearDem]

36. She won Florida by over 500,000 votes. Ohio, over 150,000.

Virginia, over 225,000.

Did you just somehow forget that those are enormous states up for grabs in the general election?

[Land of Enchantment]

64. Experimental or theoretical, nuclear?nt

[litlbilly]

52. just wait till after the west coast votes, CA, OR, WA, Bernie will leave Hillary in the dust with

those votes you talk about.

[NuclearDem]

53. Yes, Sanders will win California. Obviously.

He's been so wildly successful with large urban centers so far, so he's got the second-largest one in the country in the bag.

[JEB]

33. Millennials can enlist for the coming wars.

[NuclearDem]

39. And then come home to a VA health sys--oh.

[JEB]

41. Or a flag draped coffin.

We're going to need lots of canon fodder, er I mean patriotic young soldiers to enforce greed of the empire and keep the corporatate profits high.

[NuclearDem]

43. Ah ha! I see, it's been umpteen-dimensional chess all along.

That explains why he's let the VA health system fall off a fucking cliff and why he has no substantive veterans affairs policy platform--it's just the preamble to his presidency where no more wars happen ever! The first step to a world with no veterans is simply ignoring the ones that do exist.

I'll be damned, it's brilliant!

[JEB]

46. We've got enough veterans needing care from the last fifty years of wars.

Are you talking about President Obama?

[NuclearDem]

47. No, I'm talking about Senator Bernie Sanders

who, in his most recent day job as chair of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, repeatedly downplayed problems with the VA health system while people were screaming bloody murder and my brothers and sisters were killing themselves in droves, instead of, you know, doing his job.

[JEB]

48. Droves have been killing themselves and VA has problems.

Including years of under funding. Who better than Senator Sanders?

[NuclearDem]

49. Quite a few people, as it turns out.

http://www.military.com/daily-news/2015/09/29/iava-chief-criticizes-sanders-apologist-scandal-riddled-va.html

Paul Rieckhoff is a champion of veterans. Bernie Sanders isn't.

[JEB]

54. I'd vote for Paul Rieckoff over Hillary/ Kissinger.

[JackRiddler]

42. Her campaign has no ground game.

Against an insurgent campaign, and with no other establishment candidate, the Clinton campaign has the long-standing Democratic Party machines on the state and city levels. These are big, experienced, well-funded -- bigger than a ground-game that an insurgent campaign must build from scratch. It's incredible Sanders has done this well. And he will only do better, as long as people do NOT buy into the voter suppression and discouragement effort that the Clinton campaign has turned into its core message.

[redstateblues]

45. Damn Spring Break!!

That's the only thing that kept the big crowds Bernie drew from voting.
