 Many young voters sat out Super Tuesday, contributing to Bernie Sanders' losses
Ledyard King, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON – Young voters cheer Bernie Sanders' anti-establishment message. They turn out in throngs at his rallies. And they form the core of his grassroots efforts to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

But their fiery passion did not translate into the robust turnout he needed on Super Tuesday to win a number of key states, notably in the South where a strong showing by former vice president Joe Biden has made the nomination contest a two-man race.

Exit polls for five southern states that Biden won – Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia – found that young voters did not show up at the polls in the numbers they did in 2016.

That's just it about many young voters.  They latch onto someone, show up at rallies, wear the campaign buttons, maybe make some calls from the phone bank.  But when it comes to actually voting, they stay home.

Sanders base is pretty much just young people. Young people who haven’t worked long enough, raise families, paid mortgages etc. etc.

That’s just not enough to win an election

Hopefully they won't show up in November, either.

I'm all for "voter suppression", so long as it's the leftist voters being "suppressed"...  ;)
