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.
Smart ones? I would think the smartest ones who would have a net worth over one million dollars by middle-age would vote for Paul?

I would have now; at that age, most defiantly. What I am most ambivalent about Trump, are his curious antics. We stated he likes the uneducated ones, especially the uneducated ones, and I wonder why he especially liked to uneducated ones? He says he wants to put Americans to work but makes excuses hiring foreign workers as per argument the jobs were seasonal. really is that well enough the reason, or is it cost? Then he does not anticipate how an a question about a racist group will impact his run in the election! He does not seem to have a real political position, other than to be the president.

There are some more anti-establishment Millennials who may lean towards Trump but I think more and more are going to lean towards Hillary and vote D regardless.

I'm sure they do, I'm not smart enough to understand your post.

All my close friends will vote for him as well, but in all honesty, people like to hang out with like-minded folks.
Some of my friends want to vote for Sanders.
If you were born in 1981, I think you're technically Generation X.

...I'm just being nitpicky though.

Sanders is not out yet. Ask if/when it happens.

I'll vote for Trump because although I dislike some of his policies, unlike Shillary he's not getting his pay in back room deals with big companies and then spouting a populist message on the podium.

I was born in year 1985.

Millennials (also known as the Millennial Generation[1] or Generation Y) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. Most researchers and commentators use birth years ranging from the early 1980s to the early 2000s.
