Speaking as one (though granted toward the older edge of millenials) Clinton by a ton. The idea that liberal millennials (Bernie's base) would vote for Trump is utterly absurd.
That is what i would think and my grand kids are millennials, I think?
While millennials are completely ignorant on most counts, they know what a morally bankrupt and completely dishonest person Hillary is so they will go for Trump. If they have even half a brain, then they realize that Obama conned them and screwed our country so voting for Hillary would be more of the same.
Then again, they really could be THAT stupid!
Millenials don't care about PC as they are well versed in educated and polite speech. When they choose to use it. My son and his college age friends ARE pro Bernie but they are not Hillary haters and will give her their vote as opposed to Cruz, Trump, or Rubio.
There is not one candidate MORE morally bankrupt and dishonest than the carnival barker, Donald Trump. He stands for everything Bernie despises. How could anyone who identifies with Bernie - vote for a person who cannot bring himself to disavow the KKK and David Duke?
I had a friend in College that was a hardcore Republican and worked with McCain on his campaign in 2008 while we were still in College. I was actually surprised to see him today on FB writing some pretty scathing things about Trump.
I'm not saying there are no Millennials who support Trump-obviously there are because most of the comments on the post were disagreeing with him-but it did surprise me to see that he had such an aversion to Trump.
Sanders will ask his supporters to vote for Hillary, just like Hillary would ask hers to vote for him (exactly as she did for Obama). So I guess the question is whether they really trust his opinion and his judgement or this really was only about free stuff. I'm personally thinking it's the former and that they are more idealistic than they are mercenary, and particularly if/when the person they have put all this support into tells them that the better option by far is Hillary, they will take what he says to heart.
If Millennials had any semblance of sense (I supervise two rather rotund slackers from that generation), they would have supported Rand Paul.
I don't like Trump at all but even he or a lampshade is more promising than Clinton or Sanders.
Hopefully Ted Cruz can right the ship.
The smart ones will play the voting game against their electoral college in their states to try to vote for a viable 3rd party so that SOMEBODY else gets some funding and gets to debate. The smart ones know that if they don't live in a contested state voting is really P****** in the wind when it's determined that your vote goes to the other candidate (or even just affirms it anyway). I for one would LOVE to see a 3rd Party emerge just to shake things out a little bit.
The stupid ones will stay home.
I know an infinite amount of Bernie supporters under 35, I'd be willing to say that almost every single person I know in that age range loves Bernie Sanders.
I don't know any Millennial Drumpf supporters, almost every Drumpf supporter I'm aware of is middle aged or older and white.
I know a few female Millennials who are really into Clinton, Clinton does well with Hispanics here, ESPECIALLY older Hispanic women.
I know a few who were into Kasich before the Planned Parenthood deal. They aren't into Kasich anymore, I used to view him as the kind of Republican I could live with but not anymore.
I'm friends with the Ted Cruz chairman for my state, there are a few supporters there, usually older Millennials.
I know Rubio's chairman for his campaign in my state, he's not very strong here but he actually does have a little sway in the Hispanic community here (AZ), but ultimately Hillary is winning that game.
At the beginning of this campaign, before a lot of the good candidates dropped out, I'd say that the split was more
Sanders/Paul and then to a lesser (much) extent Clinton.
Yes, Republicans, please keep on bashing the Millennials as a group. Keep doing it.

P.S. People on this forum must realize that every generation preceding yours thought that you were a generation of total losers and slackers. "Kids nowadays . . . " wasn't invented in the 1990's.

Many supported Ron Paul in 2012. Where were you?
