The crowds shown on MSNBC do NOT have many Millennials!

So far, it's overwhelmingly older folks at this particular location they're at.

But the turn out is incredible! The location they are at is hosting both the Republican and Democratic Caucuses.

MSNBC has probably picked a location that has an older population at its core. If not and it's a location that has a young core, they are not showing up.

Ooooh, they are now showing a location in Iowa City that is a university location and it is overwhelmingly Millennials!

I think some Millinials are dressed & in disguise as "older folk" to throw a monkey wrench into
the "predictors" gears.

Matthews and Hayes almost cetrtainly are, but Lawrence might be pulling for Sanders.

And Hayes was at the location with all the old folks.
