Who is more loyal - Millenials or African Americans?

Had lunch with a Hillary supporter yesterday.
We were debating who would inspire a bigger turnout in November.
My argument was that African Americans are the most loyal demographic of the Democratic Party base.
Conversely, many Millenials backing Bernie are first time voters that relate to Bernie but have no real strong loyalty to the Dem party.
Therefore, I said it would be a whole lot easier for Bernie to get African Americans that voted for Hillary in the primary to actually turn out and vote for him in November than it would be for Hillary to get Millenials that voted for Bernie in the primary.

She agreed with me. But, she still supports Hillary saying she has the experience, blah blah.
