Only 18% of the Nevada electorate were voters between 18 and 29 years of age

Once again, we learn that you can't depend on the youth vote to deliver a victory.

Hillary got 61% of voters age 45 -64. AWESOME!

------------------------
Young voters were mostly with Bernie, but they didn’t turn out. Only 18% of the Nevada electorate were voters between 18 and 29 years of age. Another 17% was the age group between 30 and 44 years of age. However, 35% of Nevada voters were from 45 to 64 years of age, and 31% of Nevada voters were 65 and over. That 31% of 65 and over voters is strongly better than what Nevada saw in 2008.

Hillary got 74% from voters age 65 and higher, and 61% from voters age 45 through 64.

Bernie won young voters, but they didn’t turn out in the ways the older voters did.

7. Florida Spring Break for college students is March 5 - 26

There are 18 primaries during that time including Florida on March 15. How many youthful voters are going to be out supporting their candidate of choice on March 15. I think they will be down at Club Le Vela whooping it up.

11. He's going to need A LOT more busses this time!

Well that's some really bad timing for Super Tuesday. I'm expecting a protest from Weaver to move Super Tuesday a few weeks after Spring break.

15. Super Tuesday is on March 1

I expect vast numbers of Bernie's youthful twitter commandos to be perusing the next new thing in a week. Enthusiasm and fun is the name of the game in the short run, but the hard core political machine assembled over the last decade will be making the long haul to the convention. Endurance and inertia will carry the day for Hillary.

16. Yes it will! Hillary's base won't sell her out for a beach party

Timing really sucks for bernie, in this case.

12. Awkward!

Good on Hillary getting this age group, luna

Hillary got 61% of voters age 45 -64 They obviously know what they're doing.

13. Most of the young vote on social media

I am not sure some of them can get off their phones long enough if my grand daughter is an example?

[leftofcool]

17. Your grand daughter too?

I am pretty sure that both of my grand daughters' phones are glued to their hips.

[wysi]

18. Wow.

Who would have thought that young people might not show up to caucus?

[Tarheel_Dem]

19. I love young folk, but I wouldn't place my political hopes on them. They show up every 4 years if...

we're lucky, and go MIA in the midterms. My generation is just as passionate as they are, and we have the added benefit of actually showing up to vote in every election cycle.
