I barely listened, but it amazed me just how lame, old, and out of touch the Democrats are this time. Usually it's the Republicans that fall into that category and were it not for Trump they would again and this would be a truly dismal contest.
SJW Millennials may like Sanders but he has zero cool or edge factor. Just an old bastard with an old ideology.
There's no way either him or Clinton is going to be able to keep the Obama coalition together.
The biggest problem with that strategy is that when you get the young college vote that is very naive about politics and basic economics, you set yourself in position of becoming the first experience of politicians lying to a whole generation, the people that were 18-25 in 2008 are in their late 20s and mid 30s now, in 2008 they were doing nothing but going to class, parting, fucking, drinking and living in their parents home, they were promise heaven on heart, and the only thing they had to do is vote for Obama, add the big plus of young people wanting to be in the "right side of history" by electing the first black president.
Fast forward, that same demographic is 26-33-34, many are married, with kids and rent to attend, if the gas price go up they will notice, many are still single, with student debt, the young girl in 2008 that was 21, slim, with tons of male attention wearing a "Hope and Change" shirt is now 29, the male attention has fade away, drinking and parties are not the same and many of her friends and married with kids.
Technically the Democrat party played millennials in 2008 like a motorcycle abusive badboy, is fun the ride but he would dump you when he gets tired of you, this is why Hillary has such hard time getting that same college age voter that Obama got in 2008, she tries to play cool and "in" by having Snapchat and closing debate saying "may the force be with you", there is nothing more pathetic than an old woman trying to play cool and hip when is clearly fake, by doing so, Hillary looks like those late 40s woman that go clubing with their teenagers daughter because they believe they "still got it"
