Hillary's campaign has lots of excuses for losing. The electoral college, James Comey, the media's alleged over-exuberance in digging into Clinton's email server, etc. But Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said Thursday that one particular group is especially to blame: millennials.
*snip*
Where the campaign needed to win upward of 60 percent of young voters, it was able to garner something “in the high 50s...” Mook said. “That’s why we lost.”
The national exit poll shows Clinton underperformed Barack Obama's 2012 share of the vote by one point with those between the ages of 30 and 44 and by three points with those 45 to 64.
Among those between 18 and 29, she took five points less — 55 percent versus Obama's 60.
Clinton's 55-36 margin [19 points] among those ages 18 to 29 is also significantly worse than late polls suggested it would be. A mid-October poll from the Harvard Institute of Politics showed her leading 59 to 29 in a two-way matchup with Trump... A GenForward survey conducted by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, meanwhile, had her up 41 points, 60 to 19.
They, of course, are national polls, and the race was really decided in a handful of close states — Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. And sure enough, Clinton did even worse among young people in those states.
While Clinton's national margin of victory among young people was only four points worse than Obama's 60-to-37 edge, Michigan's exit poll shows her margin among young people there was five points worse (+28 for Obama vs. +23 for Clinton). In Florida, it was 16 points worse (+34 vs. +18). In Pennsylvania, it was 17 points worse (+28 vs. +9). And in Wisconsin, it was 20 points worse (+23 vs. +3).

Sun spots.
Face it, lefties: just because millennials came of age during the Obama era, and voted for him, doesn’t mean millennials are doctrinaire leftists.
She was and is a horrible candidate, evil, corrupt, sells out her country for a few pieces of Judas, a woman abuser and now a warm human being.
In Hillary’s case it is always someone else to blame. It is never her.

Obama was wrong. Hillary is not likeable enough.
Nah. These idiots voted for Obamatard due to liberal white guilt TWICE and didn’t want to vote for a third time’s mistake.
I blame Bill Clinton for Hillary’s loss, and for all of her problems, including her crookedness and evil persona.
It it wasn’t for Bill, Hillary would have attached herself to some nobody in some unknown town, and would have become a nobody herself. But, Bill is what she found, and the rest is history.
The Russians hacked her millennials
Hillary Clinton lost because of Hillary Clinton.

I was thinking “target practice” myself
Are 20 year olds supposed to be enamored of the person who was First Lady when they were born? Like kids in the 80’s and 90’s were all wild about Lady Bird Johnson and Pat Nixon?
Remember Occupy Wall Street? Hillary was Wall Street. Hillary was also a warmonger. There are a lot of reasons many would not turn out for her.
What a beautiful photo......Rembrandt couldn’t have painted it better, even if he were a Trump supporter! I would title it “Snowflake Nap Time”.
Hitlery made two mistakes:
1. Running as ObOzO’s third term.
2. Had the wrong skin color.
Ha! That photo is priceless.
Hillary was some millenials’ bitchy mother who couldn’t compromise, was always controlling and drove their father away.
Her only appeal was ... she’s not Donald Trump. It is hard to get excited about a candidate who is just not someone else. We saw this when Trump held a rally and thousands showed up and thousands were turned away. Hillary got her thousands when she had Beyoncé do a show. But then people left when Hillary started speaking!
It was the blacks that stayed home or voted for Trump
