WaPo poll shows young voter lack of enthusiasm for Clinton is the stuff of nightmares
The Coach's Team ^ | 10/5/16 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

Hillary Clinton’s inability to attract White voters is very bad; yet her inability to excite 18 to 29 year old voters is the stuff of nightmares.

With little more than a month until Election Day it is becoming clear that the media is juggling their poll results as hard as they can to help their newsroom goddess; but people just don’t like Hillary Clinton.

A recent Washington Post/ABC NEWS survey shows Donald Trump is ahead by a staggering 65/25 with White men and just down 44/46 with White women. Combined with at least a 72% White turnout, (but likely 74% or more) it shows a vast lack of enthusiasm among Whites for Clinton. Trump’s voters are clearly more enthused about voting for him than Clinton’s supporters are about her.

When factored even for the 2012 turn out, this spread among White voters results in a ratio of 1.46 White votes for Trump for every 1.0 White vote Clinton receives from approximately 3 of 4 voters. Enthusiasm is the cause of this 58/42 edge.

The Washington Post has recognized the value of its own survey as it relates to states that are close or tied between the candidates. This is probably why their political column has moved Pennsylvania to a Toss-up, making it the first time this has happened. They also designate Ohio as a Toss-up.

Yet this is curious since it has become evident that Ohio is not going to vote for Hillary Clinton. Indeed the New York Times and Reuters, two of Clinton’s biggest cheerleaders, have started saying that Ohio is not a “must win state” for Clinton.

Adding to the evidence that Clinton has already lost Ohio is another Wapo article posted Monday. This one tells of a reporter who followed a Clinton door to door canvasser...

To parrot timmie last night: “How can you sit there and defend a known, proven pathological liar?” No wonder there is NO enthusiasm for these creepy assclowns. Maybe someone is finally getting the message.

Works for me, I’ll take it.

They know nothing of the Clinton scandals of the 90’s because they weren’t yet born; They know probably very little about HRC’s more current failures because they have the IQs of a bowl of oatmeal. They can’t especially make their own decisions because their decisions are based upon group acceptance and conforming to the idiocracy we have going on.

So long as they don’t vote for HRC, I could not care less why.

Most of my Millenial daughters’ friends intend to stay home on Election Day.

They can’t stand Hillary. They think she is a lying, deceitful crook who enabled her husband to abuse women and who shafted their bud Bernie out of his nomination.

But they buy the crap that voting for Trump makes you a racist. So most are sitting this one out.

"Adding to the evidence that Clinton has already lost Ohio is another WaPo article posted Monday. This one tells of a reporter who followed a Clinton door to door canvasser and was stunned at how poorly the young man’s day went. In a whole, four square block area near The Ohio State University, the canvasser knocked on many doors, but was not able to sign up a single new voter or get anyone to fill out a pledge to vote for Clinton. To her credit, the reporter did quote one student who said, “I’m all in for Donald Trump, man.”

Ah. So nice to wake up to great news that 'tickles my funny bone' (as Mom and Grandma used to say--lol). :D

Not one person would sign a pledge to vote for the career criminal even with the entire, main stream media complex and Federal government going to any length to protect and promote her while also going all out to TRY to take down Trump.

Nice icing on the cake from the person who said, "I'm all in for Donald Trump, man." Happy day.

The clinton/bush jr./obama looting of the US economy has essentially destroyed any future for the millenials.

Think about it. How can young people compete against an onslaught of cheap third world labor? Especially after being spoonfed a lifetime of liberal/freetraitor bullshit for cradle to present day?

The meritocracy has bled them dry and loaded them up with useless degrees. Their parents are too busy looting the equity out of the US economy, the financial sector is offshoring capital as fast as they can, and the manufacturing sector is following fast behind.

The US business sector is abandoning the US as fast as possible, because even rats know when to jump off of a sinking ship.

The millenials that so many here love to bash WERE our future, but we looted their future and stuck them with the bill.

So don’t get all pissy when your kids and grand kids turn on you.

Of course we all know your daughters don't know the 3/4s of her misdeeds and criminality. But the fact that they get this is a nice positive. They are right about her.

Sadly the main street media complex lies straight out of the Clintoon Campaign machine of deception, obfuscations, and lies has effectively brain washed many of the millennials and just ridiculously gullible liberals.

Yeah, enthusiasm. After all, it's not like they made a conscious decision to reject the most murderously corrupt creature to walk the planet in the last five thousand years or anything.

It’s past time to propose a 28th Amendment to overturn the 19th Amendment and end the horror of having Demonicrats in the Oval Office.

I am not talking about my Millenial kids...my comment was about their friends. My daughter has one girlfriend who is practically a Communist....a HUGE Bernie supporter. Yet she believes Bill Clinton is a rapist, and Hillary should be in jail for enabling him.

(sadly this girl was raped herself as a teenager)

No it isn’t. These will be our future leaders.

And if not our’s, our children’s.

Donald Trump is ahead by a staggering 65/25 with White men...

More than any candidate in recent memory, and I do not except 0bama, Clinton has repeatedly beaten the racism/sexism drum to the point where she's actually giving the impression that she doesn't want white males voting for her because we're ideologically tainted. This drumbeat is amplified on college campuses through what has become an institutional effort to make up for past perceived privilege by oppressing the hell out of the scapegoat class.

That's going to have an effect, and all the white guilt-mongering in the world isn't going to cause its targets to stream to the polls for its loudest advocate. Hillary has simply failed to grow up from her adolescent politics of resentment nurtured since the bad old 70's "liberation" days, which was a good deal before the millennial targets were even born. They aren't failing to show up for her, she's driving them away.

OTOH, in 2012, Cincinnati had a 110% turnout for Obama; Chicago a 118% turnout for Obama. In neither city did Romney get any votes.

It comes down to this: Will the laziest, most self-important, under-educated Generation of humans in History ACTUALLY get off their butts, drive to the polls and vote?

Remember, we are now breeding people who are used to “voting” and being activists via phone.

I’m sorry, but there is no way you can screw around with those numbers and get a Cankles victory. None.
