Bernie Sanders is 74. He grew up playing stickball in the streets of Brooklyn and watching a black-and-white television.
Yet this child of the 1940s, who says Franklin D. Roosevelt is his favorite president, has inspired a potent political movement among young people today.
Young voters' support for Mr. Sanders has created a quandary in Hillary Clinton's campaign headquarters in Brooklyn, where millennial staff members have tried to persuade their peers to back the former first lady.
The discomfort, and, in some cases hostility, toward Mrs. Clinton among young voters is striking. Some of them, feeling the pinch of economic hardship or the burden of college loans, suggest she is too cozy with big banks and corporate America. But polls also show they do not find her trustworthy.
Even those showing up to the Clinton campaign's youth-oriented events do not seem to be embracing her candidacy.
Last month in Iowa, Mrs. Clinton appeared at a joint rally in Iowa City with the 23-year-old pop star Demi Lovato. Like many college students in the crowd, Nate Weger, 20, said he was supporting Mr. Sanders but was not going to say no to a free Demi Lovato concert.

The NYT has got to be preaching to the clinical insane, absolute morons, or the dead people that typically vote dem.
She acts like she’s taking an oral final in Public Speaking 101. And getting a C.
So all of that ranting from the zipperhead millennials these past 8 years about “old white guys” was just a pile of BS i see...
I like that idea-but it might be too subtle for the Bernie worshippers-I doubt that many of them have any idea what veterans affairs or healthcare for Indians is, or what it does...
I think Bernie’s got it. He actually believes what he’s saying.
One of the latest half-naked, tat covered, hoe-bag pop stars out there.
It is interesting which articles the NYT picks and chooses to open up a comment section on.
Polish and poise? Really?
She’s got the polish of a piece of 60 grit sandpaper and the poise of a cockroach when the lights come on.
“Hillary’s polish and poise?They’re joking,right”
My thoughts exactly!
Young people don’t like Hillary because she’s not trustworthy...
Also young people weren’t brainwashed by the press to ‘luv Bill’ during the years he was abusing women... they were too young to care.
