Twitter is mostly made up of younger people. Not a good sign for younger voters being wild about Hillary, huh?

I think it's too early to be calling anything about the younger generation.

Hillary has not come out yet with her promises.
All I have read is that her campaign is going to be centered around creating an "everlasting path to prosperity for every American".

The problem there of course is that she's not some unknown like Obama was making promises to the masses.

She's got this big fat long track-record of who she is and it's NOT for the little guy.

Also, there are quite a few younger Obama supporters that REALLY got a bad taste from her during 2008 primaries.

Signed....

2000 - Bush Voter
2004 - Indy
2008 - Obama
2012 - Indy
2016 - ????? but Not Hillary

I want someone to the Left of Hillary, but not as far left as Warren. But i also have no problem voting for Hillary. And im 23. I dont think she leaves as much of a bad taste in the younger generations mouth as you thinking.

Obviously i dont speak for the entire Democratic Party, but I havent met any leftist who were anti hillary.

also, that hashtag is now gone.


#Hillary2016 is now the #1 trending topic.


see how quickly things change.

Twitter trending now an indication of her chances of being elected?

I took a look through the tweets, and it's not quite what you right wing nuts may be hoping for:

Here's a few:

Quote:
Because I can’t until 11/04/16.
Quote:
because I know nothing about politics and Fox News said I shouldn't so I won't- I'm counting on u Fox
Quote:
Folks on this thread --> #WhyImNotVotingForHillary promote ageism and misogyny. Visit #ReadyForHillary for the light.
Quote:
Because I am a waffle cone that only recently gained sentience.
Quote:
Because I'm a Unicorn Man, and my hooves can't work the voting machine.
Quote:
I'm voting for a dumb Republican who hates gays, blacks, and the lower class + wants to spend all tax money on war
Republicans can't even mount a twitter campaign successfully.

Most of twitter are asinine one liners but the millennials love twitter.

It actually is trending. Unfortunately for Republicans the content is not quite what they were hoping for.
