My daughters, ages 19 & 21 were both for Bernie.

The youngest one casually but the older one was a Bernie evangelical.

The youngest one voted...the older one stayed up really
late the night before the Texas primary dashing off tweets and FB
posts.

She slept in on primary day and never did vote.

I even woke her up at one point and told her she needed to go vote
but she slept another few hours, then had to eat, and shower, and find our polling place.

I think she's probably a pretty typical Bernie supporter lol.

DH and I can both see 60 from our house.
I thought our 25 yo son was a Bernie Evangelical. He moved to Florida recently and did not vote in any primary. Told him we were voting for Hillary today and he said "good, Bernie's done." I'll make sure he votes in Nov.

On average, anyway.

At 47, I was the youngest person at the voting station--volunteers and voters included.

If I went now, I'd still see an older crowd, but you'd get more young people at this point in the day.

...of all residents are black.

But, but, but.....Bernie said poor people (aka black) don't vote!

Everything that man says is wrong.

THAT would give Team Sanders something to think about tomorrow.
