"I do think that Donald Trump is doing as much for the prospect of the Democratic nominee as George W. Bush did in 2008," polling director John Della Volpe said on a conference call with reporters Monday, referencing a surge in youth engagement that propelled then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama to the presidency years ago. "I don't think there's a question about that."
To be fair, young voters don't love Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, either. She had a net favorable rating of -16 percentage points in the Harvard poll. Only Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders inspired good feelings among millennials, with a 23 percent net favorable rating.

(626 posts)I heard on the radio today that Kasich and Cruz are conspiring in different states to give the other their votes so to speak so they can defeat Drumpf in the long run.
Not conspiring secretly but out in the open.

(4,387 posts)...my choices this time are an insane person or a warmonger who's really into corporate giveaways and capitulation. Hmmmm, is it any wonder I wouldn't feel good about voting for either of them? Get a better candidate and I'll vote for them, but I won't sign my name to either of them.

(1,359 posts)Whereas being a progressive, you're more likely than not to skip voting when it matters.
So go ahead, revel in your post count and sign-up date. Anything to distract from how you don't vote regularly, right?
