Young voters to Clinton: We can't stand you
McClatchy DC ^ | September 22, 2016 | David Lightman

Posted on 09/22/2016 6:53:54 AM PDT by Zakeet

Students all over Penn State University agree on this much about Hillary Clinton: "She’s slimy," said Anay Pope.

And Pope, 25, is a Clinton supporter. For the moment.

Clinton’s poll numbers are sagging, and the biggest reason is that she’s plunging among young voters. A Quinnipiac University poll this month found that in a four-way race, Clinton is up 5 points nationally with 18- to 34-year-old voters, down from a 24-point lead just a month before.

Just days ahead of the first debate Monday and less than two months before voting ends, she faces two challenges: Many young voters are taking serious looks at Donald Trump as well as Libertarian Gary Johnson and the Green Party’s Jill Stein. And many are debating whether they even want to vote this year.

It used to be that a young person was among the most committed to Mr. Bill. Is this not true for Mrs. Bill since so many want Mr. Bill back?

They know they are SUPPOSED to be democrats and hate republicans, but HilLIARy is so slimy, and they actually hear Trump saying things they agree with (when they stop to actually listen to him)

And that is the key to the election right there. The MSM has done their best to prevent people from hearing what Donald Trump has to say. Instead, they have gone all-out to define Trump as a very bad man. They know that if people actually listen to Donald Trump, they will be converted.

It's similar to the 1980 election where many people assumed Ronald Reagan was this scary monster who would blunder us into World War III if elected because that is how the MSM of the time portrayed him.

The debate on Monday, if it is allowed to proceed, could be devastating to the MSM efforts to portray Trump as a bad person unsuitable for the presidency. I would not be surprised at all if they came up with a reason to call the whole thing off.

If the debate goes as scheduled and Trump maintains the demeanor he has shown us since mid-August, there is almost no way he can not convert millions of people over to his side that previously had rejected him (based on the nonstop MSM attacks).

“Feminist icons Gloria Steinem and former Secretary of State Madeline Albright attacked young women for not supporting Hillary Clinton’s candidacy this week — with Steinem specifically saying young female voters are just following the boys.”

“Feminist” Gloria Steinem tells us what she REALLY believes about young women: they’re mindless and unable to think for themselves; that only “boys” have opinions!

And, yeah Clintonistas, THAT’S the ticket for getting people to vote for you: insult the crap out of ‘em!

[BTW, I’m shocked to see McClatchy print the naked, unvarnished truth in this article.]

The most effective argument to present to young people is an economic one. We are 19 trillion in debt and college age kids understand debt. You have to convince them that the status quo knows (but won’t admit) that THEY will have to pay for this. There is no debt reduction plan in place. There are no spending cuts. There is no sign that their debt will disappear or stop growing.

It’s been highly effective when I have had the opportunity and I blame BOTH parties for it. I am stunned at how few of them have really considered it, but they will walk away with something to think about that only brings them to one conclusion - the status quo screws them and their future.

They all agree that Trump does not represent the status quo. It is an overwhelming advantage for his candidacy.

Not surprised.

Young adults view Hillary as both “old” and “yesterday’s” news.

Just take the time to look at a Trump rally, all ages, both genders, races, gathered together.

I’ve got three millenials at home. They tell me that the word on the street is, Hillary is a crooked old lady who’s too sick to be president.

The kids don’t like her.

“Gary Johnson is going to be the spoiler in this contest...”

I think you’re right. Gary better stay well away from Fort Marcy Park between now and Election Day!

I would be very very careful if I were him... Arkanicide can happen anywhere (two shots to the back of the head “suicide”)

VERY careful.
