2016 Postmortem

... A lot of people felt Bernie should have conceded earlier, but he chose not too. He insisted that in the end, it would work out because he did not want to alienate his base. But, a small portion of his base has been causing embarrassing episodes during the Convention and certainly doesn't seem overly concerned about a racist, fascist, and demagogue like Trump getting elected. I think Bernie is doing and will do all he can, but obviously it's a tall order. It's hard for me to imagine how anyone could risk letting Trump in the White House -- he really is insane.

The surveytouted as the first to be conducted exclusively among millennials in battleground states during this election cyclefound that 75% of millennials view Trump unfavorably, compared to 22% who view him favorably. Clinton performed slightly better but still has work to do with millennial voters, as 63% said they view her unfavorably and 31% viewed her favorably.
...
Among millennial likely voters surveyed, 51% said they would vote for Clinton, compared to 30% who said theyd vote for Trump in a one-on-one general election matchup. In a four-way election contest including Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Libertarian Gary Johnson, 43% of likely voters said theyd vote for Clinton, followed by 24% for Trump, 15% for Johnson and 7% for Stein.
One fifth of millennial likely voters (20%) said they were Sanders Holdouts who would have supported former Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders in an election against Trump, but will not not support Clinton.

We let lunatic fringe radicals infiltrate our party.
Big mistake.
Luckily running AGAINST our own far left will help Hillary win the reasonable center.
Some of us specifically voted ** against ** the "revolution." A lot more votes where that came from.
