Millenials support Hillary!

I know this because I've seen them in our office, they go canvassing, they make phone calls, and they volunteer at events!

It's so exciting to see these young college kids (some even from Mass!) come up and work in NH.

Hillary is doing great things to engage millenials!

Social media proves their assertion as well.

doesn't reflect that.

The majority of Millennials are supporting Bernie.

How petty!!! Hillary was 17 years old at the time. Unlike Warren who joined the party at 46 and Sanders who only joined it a few months ago out of political expediency.

I didn't say that every Sanders supporter sees fear and anger everywhere.

In the aggregate, Sanders' supporters on DU evoke fear and anger much more often than Clinton's supporters. I wonder what we're to make of that, and I wonder what their progressive and positive candidate would make of that.

I did notice you used the apostrophe correctly.

It would appear are expecting to find fear and anger in Sanders' supporters and are ignoring it in Clinton's supporters. You might try reading the posts with an unbiased eye, see if you still come away with your absurd observation.

So take what you are seeing and quadruple it and you can get an idea of what millenials are doing for Bernie.

Who are you trying to convince? Of there are a couple of people who support her that are young, but the majority of millennials support Sanders, not Clinton.

She is very clear that the vast majority of her age support Sanders. Though she goes to the very liberal University of Wisconsin, so YMMV.

I like hearing my son and his peers views on the candidates and how they seem to be mostly left of center.

Where's the data?
Have you any film of these alleged millenials supporting Hillary?

Or are we only to rely on faulty human memory, and some words posted on the internet?

From your dozens of responses in another thread, arguing the importance of hard info, I know how much you care about seeing the hard evidence which would support your position.

So how is it that you've failed to post any with this?

Something totally anecdotal like this, that's sort of like posting
"I got push-polled by Hillary on the telephone..."


All recent polls show that the vast majority of millenials support Bernie, not Hillary.

I have not met one single Millennial who likes Shillary. A few wannabe establishment careerists looking to climb the greasy pole don't count.
