Hillary has got to do better with young people! Just read she got 12% of under 30 voters in Nevada.

That's anemic. If she wins this primary she will need Sanders help to bring in those younger voters. The Democrats cannot win without a large turnout which necessitates inspiring the younger voters along with the rest. I hope her campaign will make adjustments accordingly.

Yes it seemed low. Maybe that % is really higher. I hope it is. ALBliberal Feb 2016 #2

We as progressive Democrats should represent the young and the future. We need the youth vote. ALBliberal Feb 2016 #7
Lol, maybe you all should worry about the one that didn't win? giftedgirl77 Feb 2016 #4

She probably won a higher percentage. Entrance polls can be completely different from what happens inside the caucus.

Besides, it doesn't matter too much anyway. Most of the young BS supporters will be sitting at home snacking on Cheetos, playing Xbox Live, impatiently waiting for their "all-expenses-paid Harvard education" golden coupon to arrive from the Sanders founded U.S. Department of Freebies & Entitlements funded 100% by hardworking taxpayers.

I'm sure they are thinking the coupon will arrive any day now, with a hand written letter from Bernie himself thanking them for their "tireless" Facebook likes, DU recs, and Reddit upvotes. "Ahhh, what is this?", "a trophy from Sanders congratulating me on my Xbox Live lifetime achievements! Eureka!"

Meanwhile, they are too busy daydreaming about the land of the freebies...they won't actually bother to go vote.....because in their mind EVERYONE is always a winner. LOL

HRC 2016!

dares to talk down to the generation that is working 2 jobs to make ends meet and that's sometimes on top of school. It's disgusting.

Hillary would be foolish to think that she can win without their help.

Climate change is huge and so is affordable college and universal healthcare. She already had those things are too hard. Who does that sound like. They won't vote for her. Unlike our generations they make polls earn their votes.
