I am proud to be one of the LGBTQ who support Sanders!

Also Bernie is winning with Women... But I thought it was a bunch of BernieBro Brogressives.

1. so the whiter, richer and older you are, more likely you support clinton

Que not surprised

6. How do you get that from the chart?

The highest level has the least number of undecided voters along with the highest percentage support for Bernie.

2. It would be helpful, if the author of this piece had included a link(s) to the underlying data ...

especially when the commentary is nakedly partisan.

That would improve the believability quotient.

5. I agree n/t

3. This challenges a number of engrained presumptions

Sanders winning Women and Minorities other than Africa Americans (but he is winning millennial African Americans). Sanders also wining LGBTQ voters. Not the typical mainstream media narrative.

4. Great post! Let's dispel some false assumptions.

Like that the LGBT community prefers Hillary.

Fascinating that among the 'orientation' demographics, those who ID as Bi are so markedly pro-Sanders (relative to LGBTs, in particular); this is not by any means an organized community. They are the most pro-Sanders of any demographic, including 18-29 year olds!

7. I was surprised by that too, but maybe a lot of Millenials are more open to being Bi... nt

[JudyM]

8. Could be. *More than their numbers* though.

[Betty Karlson]

9. LGBT preference for a woman who, until three years ago, was against marriage equality?

You would have to be establishment and / or HRC to believe that.

By the way: praise Nancy!

[JudyM]

13. Many of my friends are for Hillary. I think it's the fact that she still represents a strong,

intelligent, capable woman. I think for many people, that's enough and they don't care to take a closer look. These friends are super-smart, and actually for years have been progressives, themselves.

Nancy?

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

14. Yep, I have some friends (I'm LGBT too) and they like her from the strong woman angle... nt

No talk of policies though.

10. This would explain why the gender wars have quieted

Women are supporting the male candidate while guys are supporting the female one.

Clinton can't play the gender card too blatantly without insulting her base of support, and being subject to the obvious counterargument.

This election isn't about sex, it's about populism vs the establishment.

11. Why is Bernie winning 70% of the bisexual vote?

That's an interesting data point.

[MuseRider]

12. I am proud to be

a woman in the 60+ age range who will only support Sanders.

Clinton will be on her own with this household, we've done our work for the only candidate we think is worth our time and money.
