I actually support Clinton. Trump scares the hell out of me.

I am at the front end of the millennial generation, a Trump supporter. Most fellow millennials I encounter are urban/suburban dwellers who are Bernie supporters who don't like Clinton but will vote for her anyway because Trump is a "meanie" or rural folks who are staunch Trump supporters. Most are too young to remember or understand the whole Monica Lewinsky thing or previous Clinton scandals. She will win with them because they feel Trump represents wealthy interests that are "holding them down" when it's really Clinton that's bought and paid for.

You're out of touch dookie boy (nice username). I never said the current adminiatration. The past 25 years of politicans have decimated the middle class job market by selling out the country to the highest bidder. I am a millennial and every one of my college graduate friends are working crappy jobs. These people are paying attention this election. You can choose to believe whatever you want.

No, politicians have been selling out their constituents for many centuries. It's not a recent phenomenon, trust me.

First, there aren't "previous Clinton scandals." 20 year old false-scandals, such as White Water were heavily litigated and the Clintons were not found to be guilty of anything. That's the majority of those "scandals" that just live on in the right-wing mind. Then there is Benghazi!, Benghazi!, Benghazi!, which was investigated by multiple hostile Congressional Committees and nothing culpable was alleged.

Second, there is no evidence that "Clinton is bought and paid for." A review of her policies and record show that she supports laws and policies that favor the middle-class. Her tax policy, that raises taxes on the wealthy, should be an indication that she isn't bought by the rich.

That's the same tactic the religious right uses. They always refer to themselves and their views as the views of the "American people."

Millennials will not support Trump, except maybe in Oklahoma.

Even Texas millennials prefer Clinton over Trump by a 54-28 margin.

I'm not like other people. I don't really fit in any group so I can only speak for myself. However, I'm a millennial and no way in hell would I support Mr. Dump. At least not as he is now..in a video that Lady Gaga shared showed a much more mild mannered Trump so maybe if that version of him was running I might consider it. I use the word "might" because it could have been an act.

The president generally has little power and for such a limited power job it is truly difficult. Why do you think presidents come out of office with grey and sometimes even white hair. They're not even that old! Unless the president has specifically insulted Americans I can't fault them for what happened. You have to consider who is in Congress. They are the wizard behind the curtain and even then it's not just them. It is employers and other voters. One person can do nothing which is why I've been powerless but if that many people were outraged why did they not try to ban together to change things?
Also what makes them think Trump is going to strive to change things for the better when he insults people? If you're part of his elite sure he might support you but if you god forbid suffer a brain hemorrhage causing you to have a mental disability do you think he's going to care then?
