Millennials would flock to Clinton against Trump

[Rose Siding]

Opposition to Trump nearly unites the rising generation.

In a hypothetical Clinton v. Trump contest in November, voters under 35 would choose Clinton by a crushing 52%-19%, a preference that crosses demographic lines. Among whites, she'd be backed by nearly 2-1, 45%-26%. Among Hispanics, by more than 4-1, 61%-14%. Among Asian Americans, by 5-1, 60%-11%. Among African Americans, by 13-1, 67%-5%.

And the yawning gender gap she has against Sanders would vanish: Clinton would carry young men and women by almost identical margins of more than 2-1.

Nearly one in four Republicans would defect to the Democrats if the GOP nominated Trump against Clinton. Just 7% of Democrats would defect to the GOP.

2. Further evidence that DU isn't representative

of electoral reality.

3. 7% = DU. Because nowhere else do you hear "Democrats" talking about defecting. Which leads me....

to conclude that DU is comprised of a whole lot of "not Democrats".

5. This is what I've been saying

and shows the stupidity that the talking heads are exhibiting when applying primary demographics to a general election.

This is also why BS doesn't have an African American problem either, in a general election. These are democrats, they'll vote for the democrat. Millennials and minorities will vote for the democrat.

6. Why do we hear differently on DU?

7. DU isn't representative

I wrote this yesterday:

We're dealing with a very narrow minority who is lashing out immaturely. Those are the ones trashing Hillary, lying about her, saying they'll vote for someone else. But again, vocal minority, and very tiny minority at that.

In exit polls, Hillary does great with BERNIE supporters. There is actually quite strong solidarity among Democrats. You hear that time and time again at the polls and people voting and caucusing...everything is cordial, and everyone is getting along here.

The circus on DU is sophomoric, outlier behavior. Hillary does not have a progressive/left problem. She's in great shape for the general election.

11. this!

[Rose Siding]

12. Yes. It will be interesting to see the demographic breakdowns after tonight

I wonder if we'll see Bern's support slipping with them at all yet. That could happen, considering how fads work.

I wish they were old enough to remember how hard we worked on the revolution 8 yrs ago.
