Hillary Clinton’s millennial surge has arrived
Washington Post ^ | 10/26/2016 | Aaron Blake

Posted on 10/27/2016 11:46:44 AM PDT by simpson96

One short month ago, millennial voters were severely complicating Hillary Clinton's path to the presidency. This liberal-leaning but highly nonpartisan demographic didn't like Clinton and was flirting heavily with going third-party. Her lead among them was negligible — only two points in one poll. It was a big liability.

That was a month ago.

Today, in fact, Clinton looks like she might even outperform President Obama among young voters.

Hillary Clinton’s millennial surge has arrived

The ultimate irony...

Next to the "gibsmedats," these morons will be utterly destroyed, if Hillary wins...

Socialism requires everyone to work, whether they accept the government-set salary or not.

Good luck with that, you generation of ignorant, uneducated imbeciles!

Once you get the racist or misogynist label tagged on you, you become toxic to young voters. The only issue they truly believe in en masse is that being prejudiced is the number one sin in the world. And it’s okay to violently hate anyone who they believe has had that label placed on them.

The DNC will pay $25 hour for people to GOTV door-to-door.

Jeff Bezos pay $25 per story to an army of dolts for this kind of gaslighting.

Amazon.com is on my list of boycottable businesses.

BS. The Wikileak emails have been trending on Twitter daily. It’s killing her with this demographic.

Many young people are indeed prejudiced against prejudiced people. They’ve already made up their mind that anyone who has already made up their mind about certain people should be dealt with very, very harshly. It’s just wrong to make decisions based on no evidence. They haven’t explored this belief deeply, but they did decide very quickly that this view is obviously correct and does not need evidence to verify it.

This is the sort of worldview that will not withstand long contact with the world.

Nicely done: a careful reading of the text will reveal the comPost’s deception.

What you seem to be saying is this:

Hussein the fascist may have attracted 78 millennials for every 22 Romney got. Hitlery may attract 83 for every 17 of Trump’s.

But that is a mere percentage number. What isn’t reported is the raw number—so in 2012 the total number of millennials voting might have been 25,000—whereas in 2016 the total number of millennials voting may be around 14,000. (I am using low examples just to make the point.)

The Clinton rally at Curtis Hixon Park looks to be about 300 people, certainly not 2000.
