If you’d like to find a way to get rid of a whole bunch of sniveling, whiny, delicate little crybaby millennials, come November, you’ll get that chance.
As it turns out, almost half of millennials (18-to-29-year-olds) said they would “consider leaving the country” if Donald Trump is elected.
Did you really need any other reason?
RedAlertPolitics reports: To millennials’ credit, they don’t just despise The Donald; they don’t like Hillary Clinton either. 39 percent would consider leaving the country if she was elected.
The poll shows Clinton defeating Trump by 22 percent. Among millennials, Clinton wins 46 percent of the vote, Trump wins 24 percent, Libertarian Gary Johnson wins 3 percent, and the Green Party’s Jill Stein wins 3 percent. Overall, 49 percent of millennials disapprove of Clinton, and 72 percent disapprove of Trump.
However, Clinton has a big problem: 40 percent of millennial Democrats don’t “feel comfortable” with her as their nominee. In a Clinton-Trump matchup, 24 percent remain “undecided.” For millennials, being undecided means unlikely to vote, which is a bad sign for Democrats.
In a generic ballot matchup, millennials favor a Democrat over a Republican, 64 percent to 21 percent — meaning Clinton is greatly underperforming the generic ballot.
This should be an opportunity for Republicans, but Trump isn’t holding the young Republican base together. 58 percent of young Republicans don’t feel comfortable with Trump as their nominee.
Trump’s only hope with millennials is that they don’t turn out. In fact, he may hope they leave America early. As Clinton starts her pandering campaign to young voters, Trump can try to keep up, but with these sorts of negatives, it may not even be worth his time.
Another tactic that probably wouldn’t work for Trump would be picking Sen. Ted Cruz as his vice presidential nominee. 15 percent of millennials believe Cruz is the Zodiac Killer.
