That and Bernie is promising the young "Free Ponies"........

Hillary is just unlikeable.

She reminds me of my fourth grade teacher when she'd get pissed off at us. Same voice too.

her political skills suck.....if she could only have sucked something else better.....

This stat (and the fact too that she's not dominating the female vote) are huge red flags for her. I think it's pretty much a certainty that if she does win the nomination, her VP choice will be 45 or younger. He (or she) would have to be young, or else she has zero chance of winning in November.

The bottom line is it's been 16 years since the Clintons were in the White House, so anyone 30 or younger barely remember the Clinton presidency.

Of course, if Cruz ends up being the Republican nominee, I doubt young people will vote for him either. Trump might get some young votes, and Rubio would probably get that vote, but I think Cruz creeps younger people out (like his daughter).

No kidding...........but not to Mach, Redtom, Fitbud, etc. that frequent here - they are all tanker trucks for her, defend her every action - warts and all. If she got caught, oh I don't know - using her cabinet office to solicit funds for the Clinton foundation - they wouldn't mind at all.

She ain't Bill. All of the sleaze, none of the charm.

Young people like two things: Free stuff and misguided rebellion.

Bernie Sanders offers the opportunity for both.

I was thinking about why today and I came up with the reason. She has been in the front page of politics for 25 years. She never left. Bill Clinton left, W left, Obama will leave, she just stays in the news. People are just tired of her. She would have done herself well just to go away for 10 years.

She's hung around so long, she's become Establishment (with a big E). All that radical street cred shot to ****.

How reflective of this demograhic in the nation as a whole do you think NH is? Clinton will dominate once we get into the southern states. Sanders is just the flavor of the month.

I sincerely hope you are right. Eliminating any possibility that Sanders might actually win is my first hope at this point. I really don't much care who wins as long as it is not Sanders.

They're 95% white, so I'll go with "not very". The real story is will his campaign last past Super Tuesday, where he will experience sweeping, 30+ point losses.

You want Sanders in the general election if you're fiscally conservative.

Most of the moderates in this country will be turned off by his politics, and you'll be able to win the election. Hillary can PRETEND to
be moderate better than Bernie can.

Bernie Sanders is not going to be able to stand up to serious scrutiny of his policies.

Except there's no republican who's fiscally conservative.

And I don't even want to risk the odd chance that Bernie might actually win the thing.

I can see the country surviving four years of anybody but Bernie. I can't see four years of anybody else being good for the country.
