(I thought some Hillbots told us over the past couple of weeks that she was more popular with the young people than Bernie. )

[Kalidurga]

1. See that's how I think the adult primaries should end up.

Actually I think more for O'Malley he can have some of Hillary's votes.

[grasswire]

2. WOW

cool

[winter is coming]

3. Third?

[Fawke Em]

5. Not even that.

With less than 15 percent, she would be considered "not viable" in this caucus!

At least that's what the Tweets are saying. I must admit, I know nothing about caucusing. Maybe our Iowa 4 Bernie people will be along soon to explain that!

[Cheese Sandwich]

4. Oh wow Iowa Sec of State said it too...

7. Sweet!

FEEL THE BERN!!!

SANDERSTORM!!!

[Robbins]

6. so when they actully have a vote of young voters In Iowa

bernie wins hands down.

and people like PPP expect us to buy she is doing better among young voters.

let's remember young people can be influenced on politics from what they hear from their parents so They may be hearing good things about bernie.

consider this the youth In Iowa like O'Malley better than Clinton.

[Demeter]

8. Young people who support Bernie are smart enough to make up their own minds

What I am afraid is that they are in rebellion to what they hear at home.....

[Fawke Em]

15. There are two schools of thought on this matter.

1. They may be rebelling against what they hear at home, but are they hearing "Trump," "Carson" or "Rubio" at home? If so, that's a good thing.

2. If they are hearing "Clinton" at home, then their parents, already leaning left, are open to their presenting an argument for Bernie. I voted for Obama in the primaries in 2008 because my then 8-year-old son liked him better.

[LiberalElite]

31. ?

Maybe this IS what they hear at home. (Then they'd rebel by wanting Clinton? )

[Fawke Em]

10. I can't understand why it's not in this order in the "adult" world.

In my view (wink), true progressives should be supporting Bernie and then O'Malley.

Clinton should be "viable."

[marym625]

25. Because the "scientific polls" are skewed.

As you already know. Preaching to the choir but I had to say it

[Admiral Loinpresser]

35. I believe we are very close in Iowa. Maybe 6 points. n/t

[jeff47]

13. In PPP's defense, they defined "young" as 26-45.

Their methodology excluded voters younger than 26, and the "young" demographic in their results was labeled 18-45.

So their version of "young" was quite a bit older than this caucus.

[Fawke Em]

16. True.

These are middle and high schoolers.

But, I have a couple of young people in the house. My daughter is not into politics. She only likes Bernie because Cole Sprouse does. LOL. But, my son is in high school and has friends who ARE old enough to vote and judging between his friends, the make-up of Bernie's crowds and the conversations I see on social media, young people from 18 to 34 are definitely Feeling the Bern and aren't Ready for Hillary.

45 is young? I'm 45 and, trust me, I don't feel so young when I get up in the morning.

[jeff47]

17. Hey, if PPP says I'm still young, I insist that I am young.

...just ignore the cataracts...And pretend I still have hair.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

36. lol, good one! n/t

[sabrina 1]

39. Lol, I agree. I have a feeling that if PPP sees that people under 50 are for Bernie

the goal posts for what they define as 'young' will move to 'between 45 and 60'!

[elleng]

29. the youth In Iowa like O'Malley better than Clinton!!!

[HerbChestnut]

32. Damn right they do.

O'Malley himself and Sanders' ideas are the future of this party. The sooner we embrace them the better.

[sabrina 1]

40. That makes sense to me. He is way better on the issues that concern them than Hillary.

[Demeter]

9. I love the way you keep blowing them out of the water, Fawke Em

You are a sharpshooter of rare skill!

[Fawke Em]

11. Thank you.

BTW, I post here instead of GD-P, but if anyone wants to trudge through that cesspool and cross post anything I post here, be my guest.

I pop over there when a Bernie fan requests some thread love, but try to stay away most of the time.

[Cheese Sandwich]

12. And all the candidates submitted videos for it too. They all worked for votes.

Presidential hopefuls send video messages to students for Iowa Youth Caucus

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate is pleased to announce that 16 presidential candidates have responded to his request that they send video messages to Iowa high school students for the “Caucus 101” curriculum. The curriculum was developed by Secretary Pate to engage and educate students about civics, the Iowa Caucuses and Iowa’s unique role as the first-in-the-nation state in the presidential selection process.

This shows the youth in iowa among republicans are willing to vote for carson and rubio.It shows the youth among iowa republicans like bush even less the young dems like clinton

[Jack Rabbit]

18. Yes, it seems I remember reading that, too

Well, you can't believe anything you read or see or hear in the MSM nowadays.

AWESOME!!!!

Yay!!

[Alison Hartson]

20. BOOM - and that's how it's done

Clinton may want to reconsider whatever political strategist she has crunching her numbers and writing her talking points. Perception may trick people into creating reality, but not when those people have been fooled time and time again. Well done, Iowa. Well done.

[marym625]

22. +1

Great post! Welcome to DU!

You're the best. Thank you so much

[Admiral Loinpresser]

37. Yes, welcome! n/t

[DaveT]

21. Youth caucus

None of those youth were scientists. So the result is not scientific.

[marym625]

23. ha

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

24. When I was in middle school and high school

My presidential voting choice was my parents. Something to think about.

[elleng]

28. MO'M beat hrc!!!

[Fawke Em]

33. Yep.

This result is the way I think it should be.

Maybe kids are smarter than adults.

[cantbeserious]

30. When We Stand Together - No Citizen Need Settle For The Lesser Of Two Corporate Evils - Go Bernie Go

eom

[LongTomH]

34. OK, now let's make certain we get them out to the caucuses!!!!!

It's still turnout, turnout, turnout, whether you're talking about primaries or caucuses!!!!
