So you think they will prefer Trump or Cruz? nt onehandle Apr 2016 #1

Trump, definitely. peacebird Apr 2016 #3

That makes no sense. They'd go from a man that condemns Islamophobia to one that embraces it? grossproffit Apr 2016 #7

No, some would go to Hillary, some would go to Jill Stein, some would stay home, and some would go Attorney in Texas Apr 2016 #48

and some will leave prez blank and vote downticket floppyboo Apr 2016 #129

This is what I plan on doing. Nedsdag Apr 2016 #182

So Millennials are for Trump. onehandle Apr 2016 #8

Do you think there is a GOPer who would make a better POTUS than Hillary? oberliner Apr 2016 #43

You do know it's not an "either/or" choice, right? Fawke Em Apr 2016 #50

The poster said they disagreed with Bernie's quote oberliner Apr 2016 #57

Except when you do that, you're handing your vote to the Republicans. LonePirate Apr 2016 #69

In discussing this with a few younger people... DemocracyDirect Apr 2016 #97

We do care, it's just we don't see Clinton as much of a choice. Fawke Em Apr 2016 #137

Thank you! That is exactly how I feel. peacebird Apr 2016 #142

Amen to that farleftlib Apr 2016 #163

They may perfer not to vote... R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #19

Bernie passionately urges young people to get out and vote oberliner Apr 2016 #44

Sanders' supporters agree with him about the status quo (undesirable and untenable) Betty Karlson Apr 2016 #88

Clinton didn't bow out until June last time. R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #132

I don't think anyone should bow out until June this time either oberliner Apr 2016 #134

If she is our nominee, she will need to reach out unapatriciated Apr 2016 #96

A platform doesn't really guarantee anything... Yurovsky Apr 2016 #112

You are probably correct unapatriciated Apr 2016 #114

A platform is just words on a paper if you can't trust the nominee. Skwmom Apr 2016 #156

You see, that's the same BS-myopic-Wassermann R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #130

K&R, K&R, K&R, K&R, K&R Carolina Apr 2016 #154

^pretty much my sentiments, but I'm still hoping that through Sanders we can avoid that scenario Betty Karlson Apr 2016 #168

Imagine what the race would have been without all the favouritism? R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #170

They'll prefer starting a new party. eom Betty Karlson Apr 2016 #25

For "navigate" read: "play ball with the 1 %, and be glad for scraps from the table" Betty Karlson Apr 2016 #68

More predictable conspiracy theories. R B Garr Apr 2016 #83

More bogus, made-up conspiracy theories. LOL at your shift to the "Saudis" R B Garr Apr 2016 #93

It's called a simile, or else an extended comparison Betty Karlson Apr 2016 #95

Thanks for doubling down on the conspiracy theory about how the Establishment R B Garr Apr 2016 #100

Your extreme hyperbolation of my response shows how little merit there is to your argument. Betty Karlson Apr 2016 #167

Right, because conspiracy theories are obviously the way to go. Comparing 9/11 to R B Garr Apr 2016 #171

More twisting words and spin. I compared the purge to the 28 pages being hidden. Betty Karlson Apr 2016 #174

Yeah, and all Camp Pinocchio has to offer are bogus accusations to R B Garr Apr 2016 #175

If you like twisting so much, there is a dance you should explore. Betty Karlson Apr 2016 #179

This kind of works both ways. R B Garr Apr 2016 #181

Like I am going to learn to love war and fracking and the TPP? Oh, please. I will not. djean111 Apr 2016 #63

Have you heard the GOP platform lately? oberliner Apr 2016 #74

If you trust Hillary on all of those issues, I fear you are sadly mistaken. djean111 Apr 2016 #78

She is on the opposite side of the Republicans on all of those issues oberliner Apr 2016 #121

We must process things very differently - I feel she is the same as the GOP in many positions. djean111 Apr 2016 #125

Bernie has more insights into this than either of us oberliner Apr 2016 #128

They do not agree on war and fracking and the TPP and college costs and health care. djean111 Apr 2016 #131

A great many Obama voters expected him to be not quite so corporatist. HooptieWagon Apr 2016 #92

I can't trust anyone's word if they think the term "Third Way" resonates with most Millennials. LonePirate Apr 2016 #94
