In most of the primary and caucus results over the past several months, the votes reflected these poll results. Even when Trump did very well with Baby Boomers and Gen X-ers, he’s usually tanked with Millennials. Game, set and match, right? Turn out the lights. Trump is doomed. Get ready for four years of this. Maybe. Or, maybe, just maybe, we shouldn’t do what every political pundit and “expert” has done since they wrote-off his candidacy the day Trump announced.
Something happened in Maryland and Pennsylvania. let’s just focus on Pennsylvania because the Keystone State could actually be a decisive battleground in the general election and even if Trump did well in Maryland (which he did) it probably won’t make a difference. Clinton’s basically a lock in the Old Line State.
157,000 Millennials in Pennsylvania voted in the Republican primary this past Tuesday. This compares to 198,000 who cast ballots as Democrats.
Trump ended up winning 52% of the Millennial vote which amounts to roughly 81,640 votes. Meanwhile, Clinton got a paltry 17% of Millennials which works out to 33,660 votes.
It’s only one state (although, a pretty important state) but it represents the best showing Trump has had in the 18-29 year-old demographic since the primaries began. That coupled with his narrow victory with the same age group over Cruz in Maryland is definitely an encouraging sign for Team Trump.

The Moronials are all in for the burn
A short poem you won’t forget
Do you recall the President referring to the Benghazi incident as “a bump in the road?”
Today I heard an ex-Navy Seal being interviewed on Fox News regarding a book he has written about how to handle crisis situations in our lives.
At the end of the interview he asked if he could make a comment on Benghazi and, of course, the anchor said “yes.”
He then thanked Fox News for keeping the Benghazi story in the news, since other news organizations are not.
He said the Seals who died deserve the public knowing the truth about the whole affair.
The poem was written by an anonymous Marine Corps officer:
“THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZI”
We’re the battling boys of Benghazi,
No fame, no glory, no paparazzi.
Just a fiery death in a blazing hell,
Defending our country we loved so well.
It wasn’t our job, but we answered the call,
Fought to the Consulate and scaled the wall.
We pulled twenty countrymen from the jaws of fate
Led them to safety and stood at the gate.
Just the two of us and foes by the score,
But we stood fast to bar the door.
Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,
So we fought and we fought and we fought ‘til we died.
We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,
But Barack and Hillary didn’t give a damn.
Just two dead Seals who carried the load
No thanks to us, we were just
“Bumps In The Road”.
So, will this reach every American with a computer? Or do we act like the press and give a pass to the people who literally sat there in the White House and watched the Seals’ execution on live streaming video and did absolutely nothing?
“What difference does it make?”
And she wants to be the next President!
;-)
He will beat her like a rented mule in the general. It will be hammer and tongs. She has NEVER been treated like he will treat her. I predict she will have a stroke and have to withdraw.
Every generation rebels against its elders.
In this case, the Millenials are rebelling against the aging hippie Libtards.
They don’t have a clue what is going to hit them.
This is Inchon.
“Millennials (also known as the Millennial Generation or Generation Y) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when the generation starts and ends; most researchers and commentators use birth years ranging from the early 1980s to around 2000.” wiki
That makes them the young people we see from 16 to 30 something. My daughter is one. She can’t get a full-time job thanks to the `Affordable Care’ act, so she has two part-time jobs, `counting beans’ in a bank and teaching computer stuff at the university. Her health care is weak to non-existent. She’s stressed out most of the time.
Although there’s little hope for the `tard Clinton/Sanders hipsters and their ilk, it’s all about jobs—once they decide to stop caring about what their `cool’ peers think and professors thought—for the future conservatives.
Trump’s going to get them whomever the `rats put up because, as we were reminded so often by our MIA resident scolds—GOP nominee Trump won’t be a “conservative” (whatever that means in 2016), so it makes the choice easier for them.
I’ve talked to a lot of them, though this a fairly conservative college town. They’ve had an eight year taste of the `rats harsh, socialist pablum, e.g. “We’re going to take a bigger (and bigger) slice of your pie so someone else can have more” and they don’t like it.
Cleveland *is* the election, or it should be. If it is stolen and Hillary goes to the White House instead of prison, the grand experiment is over and Franklin’s prescient warning becomes real. It won’t be that we’ve lost. We won’t just be hurting. As a country, we will be lost.
Thumbs up!!
more likely, they just hate everything Clinton represents and are going with the only alternative they got
Sanders’ original support levels in his own party were in the single-digits. It was only when it started dawning on Dems that he was their only alternative to the Queen of Mean herself that his numbers skyrocketed.
It could well be possible that there are more people in this country who would vote for any opponent of Hillary - no matter who - than there are who would vote for her.
Trump has won or come in second with Millennials in several states, this seems more the continuation of a trend than anything new.
Trump needs some speeches aimed at these kids, not so many college appearances because of all the paid protesters, but TV soundbites the media will parrot. I think a veep who will connect to the millennials will help him more than a veep who carries the woman’s card.
He really has a great message for the college crowd, most want to get good jobs and buy houses instead of living in their parents basements. They are legitimately scared of their student loans which will be a financial burden on them for years.
Trump can win a lot of these kids. He needs to craft a tag for them like he did with lyin’ ted.
