My demographic hopes for November.

So, after reading and listening to all of the pundits, I think this is what I am supposed to be rooting will happen:

Large black turnout
Large Spanish speaking Hispanic turnout
Large single female turnout
Low non college educated white male turnout (especially age 50 and over).

The place that, apparently, Hillarys campaign really needs to concentrate (demographic wise in swing states) is among 18-29.
Some polls show her even trailing? Or barely leading "Mr. I can't name a favorite foreign leader, know what Aleppo is," Libertarian Gary Johnson in this group.
I'm really hoping that Bernie, Elizabeth, and Michelle can help turn some of these millennials.

If so, November 8 will be a VERY happy night and Hillary will have enough coat tails to take back the Senate.
We need to swipe 5 current repug seats to have the majority.
In order, I feel best about taking Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida (prob the one I want the most, lol, love to wave bye bye to little Marco).
