LOL. I love how the Clinton narrative changes weekly.
For the last several months, all we have heard from the Hillarians is that it doesn't matter that Sanders is the only candidate who excites young voters because young voters never vote.
Now these same young voters who supposedly never vote are going to "flock to" a candidate who excites them as much as a trip to the dentist for a root canal?
Sure, most young people strongly prefer Clinton to Trump. Most young people also strongly prefer rancid dog meat to Trump. That doesn't mean they are going to get off their asses to vote for rancid dog meat. Nominating Clinton is the surest way to make sure the vast majority of millennials, who would be clearly recognized as the best hope of a forward looking, uncorrupt Democratic party, forego political engagement completely in the near future.

(10,164 posts)Young voters have always needed the motivation to vote for a candidate. The motivation to vote against one doesn't carry the same force.

(11,945 posts)They have a piece up on Bernie's refusal to go all out for Israel that ends with an implied comparison of Bernie to Barney the purple dinosaur that ends with a Barney ditty as closing music.
I think it's an effort to make Bernie foolish and uncool. The Hill campaign will probably pursue this tactic, so be ready for it.

I mean HOW COULD IT NOT?!?!
We had better nominate Sanders that's all I know at this point.

(3,714 posts)Sure, most young people strongly prefer Clinton to Trump.
A lot of people of all ages are just not putting Clinton or Trump in the picture at all. It's either Bernie or Bust.
