Obama: Clinton Would Have Won In A Landslide If Only Young People Voted
The Hill ^ | November 30, 2016 | By Brooke Seipel

Hillary Clinton would have won in a landslide if only young people had voted, President Obama said in an interview with Rolling Stone published Tuesday.

"If you look at the data from the election, if it were just young people who were voting, Hillary would have gotten 500 electoral votes," Obama told the Rolling Stone.

"So we have helped, I think, shape a generation to think about being inclusive, being fair, caring about the environment." Young Americans, he said, "will have growing influence year by year, which means that America over time will continue to get better."

Yeah, and if the bullfrog had wings he’d fly away.

Obama is dreaming about the time when only democrats are
voting.

In other words, if the least educated had voted, we’d get Hillary.

Well, a majority of the younger ages who actually do vote go Democrat. But honestly, the turnout from the younger groups strikes me as unreliable

Irrelevant argument.

Just like saying ‘if everyone voted for Pat Paulsen, he would have been president.’

Young people did not vote for Clinton because they did not like Clinton.

There are rumors that she is already considering a re-run in 2020. She will likely find even less interest her and fewer $$$ as the money seeks a more viable candidate.

If illegals, criminals, dead people and people voting multiple times would not have voted, Trump would have won 500 EV’s! Time to roll out voter ID’s!

He’s probably right about this. The Democrat Party didn’t do itself any favors by holding a rigged primary between a 70 year-old hag and a 75 year-old hippie.

I don’t believe that.

Just go ask your average college freshman who they admire the most: Castro or Trump.

That will change your mind.

You and Hillary would have both lost bigly if only people with jobs were allowed to vote.

I don’t either; I’m sure many marginalized young whites voted...for Trump. His rallies weren’t senior citizen gatherings...

If only she wasn’t such a lying P.O.S. they might have.
