Clinton supporters, this is exactly what will happen if she wins the nomination. Young people and independents are going to abandon her. She will not win the general election; you're making a mistake.
Hillary Clinton rejected by young voters that helped carry Obama to White House
FLORENCE, S.C. — Hillary Clinton’s commanding lead in this Southern state doesn’t include young voters, who have consistently rejected the front-runner for the Democratic nomination and prevented her from rebuilding the coalition that carried Barack Obama to the White House in 2008. Mrs. Clinton has assembled other fragments of the Obama coalition: black voters, Hispanic voters and women. But voters younger than 45 mostly remain skeptical of the former secretary of state and have moved in droves to support Sen. Bernard Sanders, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist from Vermont. Mrs. Clinton sustained a strong lead in South Carolina, topping Mr. Sanders by more than 20 points in most polls as the state prepared to hold its first-in-the-South primary Saturday. Nevertheless, Democrats worry that young voters will stay on the sidelines if Mrs. Clinton wins the nomination, jeopardizing the party’s chances for keeping the White House.
