Talked with my Millennial son last night.

He asked me who I favored in the election, and when I told him Bernie, he was genuinely surprised. He thought because I was an older woman I'd be for Hillary. Nope. I laid out various things about her I didn't like, and he was in total agreement with me.

In fact, the only person I know personally who's a Hillary fan (and I probably know others who haven't bothered to tell me) is his cousin, my niece, a year older than my son. And I suggested that the next time he talk to her, he ask here what peace agreements she brokered as Secretary of State. That made him laugh out loud.

Added on edit:

When I told him how much Bernie Sanders raised in the first 24 hours after the New Hampshire primary he was completely stunned. Decided he'd think about donating. I hope he does.
