Obama: Clinton Would Have Won In A Landslide If Only Young People Voted

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."

His pronouncements get dumber every day.

They are sending up the Hillary in 2020 trial balloon. Can you believe that? Run in 2020? She should be happy to be alive and not in federal prison in 2020. She is a two time presidential candidate loser and now she wants to be a three time loser. Bring it on crooked Hillary.

Sorry, Bamster. Market-based reality is going to pick them off year by year as they see their friends growing up and getting on with their lives. By the time they hit 40, you won’t recognize them in their new alt-Right gigs. And they worst of them will be looking for someone to punish for screwing up their early adulthood.

If Only

If Only Young People Voted (fill in the blank).

There in a nutshell is Obama's legacy; whining in order to blame others.

But honestly, the turnout from the younger groups strikes me as unreliable

The last three times, that I know of, that young voters really turned out to vote, they were voting for JFK, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton.

Bill Clinton got more youth votes than even the latest Democrat Messiah, Barrack Obama. The reason for Obama's huge success in 2008, was because many stupid middle-Republicans actually believed that if they elected the first black President, the Liberal left would finally stop with the B.S. "RACIST" claims. That will never end, until Republicans stop treating blacks like they are different than whites, when it comes to politics. Most voters want something for nothing - black, white, or green - PERIOD!!

But, if you can convince the voters that you are going to help EVERYONE, not just your own party, AND you can show that you are fighting AGAINST the old, political system then the youth will come out and vote for you! In recent memory, NO sitting President has won the same youth vote levels as they did during their first run for office, because USUALLY the youth have now seen that the person for whom they first voted are NOT fighting against the old system, but settling in and become comfortable with he ooze and slime!

My late uncle used to say, “If you are a under 30 and are a republican you have no heart; if you are over 30 and are a democrat you have no brain.”

There’s a change in morality as you age and your life experience grows.

And if only white males had voted Trump would have won in a landslide.

[Professional]

Oh please, you are being harsh....He did after all win a Noble Peace Prize....that is of course a remarkable achievement.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Choosing NOT to vote was their vote ‘NO’ for Hillary.

[Feckless]

...and a frog’s ass wouldn’t need to be watertight if he had wings. So F’n WHAT?

To quote a wise man on radio in Cleveland “And if my aunt had balls, she’d be my uncle”

LOL

Btw, I’m on record as being in favor of the voting age being returned to 21.

Obama bears the sole responsibility for a divided and confused nation...well at least half are not confused but he destroyed the fabric of the nation.

That's the fact, Jack!

[sport]

Again, the muslim occupier of the White House proves that he is incapable of telling the truth. Young people did vote, and a lot of them voted; for Donald Trump.

[xp38]

Hey if I had picked the right lottery numbers I would be a winner too!

[MosesKnows]

that is was of course a remarkable achievement

People forget that as time progresses, generational groups have historically moved rightward. Lost Generation voters who supported FDR and Truman later voted in a Republican congress in 1946 and 1948 and later Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956. The GI (Greatest) Generation that supported Kennedy and Johnson in 1960 and 1964 later turned around to vote for Nixon and Reagan. Baby Boomers who supported Bill Clinton later voted for the younger Bush and Trump. The fact that the Millennials are more brainwashed than their predecessors is a problem. However, they will have to face the realities of work and finances as did their predecessors.
