68% of black Americans, 46% of Hispanics feel significantly under attack in America
61% of young Americans believe in stricter gun laws

(99,711 posts)The message we aren't Deplorables is likely the most important variable.

(30,481 posts)I think its a damn fine one.
I also think they care about healthcare, education, and the minimum wage. Among most we win on all three.

(3,363 posts)18% said they're possibly/likely to vote.
Those are bad numbers. Millennials can reshape this country, but are too apathetic to vote.
