Obama: Clinton Would Have Won In A Landslide If Only Young People Voted
The Hill ^ | November 30, 2016 | By Brooke Seipel

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."

File under “woulda, shoulda, might could be”...

Democrats for decades have advocated that those who did not vote... voted for them (as do the dead and non-citizens). So why not just count non-votes as Democrat votes... so “democracy can always prevail”.

Clinton would have won in a landslide if only Clinton had won in a landslide.

Well, she didn’t, Harvard.

Many people didn’t vote because the Media told them the result was a foregone conclusion: Hillary had it “in the bag.” This was a MSM tactic to suppress republican vote, but it may have backfired — diminishing their own vote far more. O Happy Day!

Young people did not like Clinton.

They may not have liked Trump either but they were not going to turn out in droves for Clinton. I have millennials in my family and to a one they did not vote at all for Clinton. They either didn’t vote or voted for Stein.

yea and those college kids grow up, and then have to pay bills, get a job, and face the real world.

They then turn more conservative as they see their taxes going to crap and illegals taking their jobs.

In other words, the voting age should be raised.

They did vote. They voted: “No”. Not voting is still a vote.

Mr. Obama, Clinton would have probably won in a landslide if YOU hadn’t divided the country into what it is now and pissed off over half of us.

Yeah, and if we didn’t have a media in the tank for Hillary, how much would Trump have won by?

And there’s a reason why people get more conservative as they age: Wiser, maturity, life experiences . . .

So yeah, let’s let the naive, know it all, immature young people make the major decisions in the country, Obama

You stupid POS

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.
