Hillary's favorability among 18-29 year-olds in New Hampshire is an amazing -59%. Trump is at -6% https://t.co/xZr2lb0P2m— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) May 18, 2016
Hillary’s electoral prospects in NH are terrible!
Trump too isn’t well liked but his chance of winning the state looks brighter.
The solution is obvious. Deport everyone 18-29, and don’t let them back until they are 40.
Wow! You’re a Dumbocrat and you can’t dominate the teenager vote. That’s pretty friggin pathetic.
It’s always dicey to imagine what might go on in the liberal mind, at least for me. I can picture some appeal of HRC to maybe 40+ year old women out of reflex, unthinking loyalty, “she deserves it after all she’s been through” but if the idea of modern liberalism or progressivism is to “move forward” and to impose ever more innovative and enlightened ideas without any sort of regard to what has worked and what has not worked in past, eg; out of ignorance, I just don’t see the appeal of HRC to youngsters. Whatever ideas she has spewed to the youngsters in this crowd have been purloined from Bernie and they know it. Sure, she may have some appeal to middle aged League of Women Voters and freeze dried abortion activists from the 70’s and Blacks who have to vote Democrat and want to vote for HRC because they think she’s got the better chance of winning and can’t stand Bernie because he’s just the kind of white old man they despise...but this isn’t in the tradition of stitching together this amazingly motley crew (or crue) of miscreants that 0bama did. Their idealism has been crushed by the awful cynicism of HRCs unbroken record of lying, lying, and more lying.
I think Trump obliterates her in the general.
I hope and pray Trump wins in a landslide.
But let’s be realistic. Trump is riding a bump because he has secured the nomination.
Hillary is falling because she’s embroiled in a fight with Bernie.
But the eventual democrat nominee will consolidate support.
personally I would love to see the voting age 21. the older I get the more happy I am that the young tend not to vote.

There are many great reform ideas out there.
The 19th Amendment should be repealed. Its passage was a major attack on the family. Only married men living with their children and the children’s mother should be allowed to vote.
Then exempt 18-20 year olds from draft registration and don't allow anyone under 21 from joining the military.
Pessimists be pessimisting.
actually the kids that join the military tend to do all right in educating themselves on the vote. I just think that until the responsibility of wife kids and husband happens that most under 30 tend not to look at the big picture and get sucked into liberal ideology. give the kid some time in real world and some real world problems and they come back to non liberal thinking.
My brother is 20 years younger than me. He was a raging leftist because jobs were slim so socialism appealed to him. He got a job, paid taxes and now is a conservative for Trump. All it took for him to be a fiscal conservative was to get a good paying job.
Based on my experience the claim that the younger you are the more liberal you are is nonsense. It has to do with the socio-economic conditions one grows up in.
Send them to farm the land as Mao did.
If you didn’t click the link, the numbers:
18-29
Clinton: 19% Favorable, 78% Unfavorable
Trump: 44% Favorable, 50% Unfavorable
My college age son was talking about how many of his friends like Bernie and I told him that no one really cares what people his age think about politics because they don’t vote.
He said, “I know and I’m glad because I’m voting for Trump.”
Looks like NH “youngsters” is stooopid.....
The youth vote will not be turning out for Hillary, who has nothing for them.
