Millennials Love Obama, But Not Hillary

RUSH: Over at FiveThirtyEight. Now, a couple things here. FiveThirtyEight, that's the Nate Silver blog. This is the wunderkind that the Democrats relied on in 2012. This is the guy that predicts candidates' chances of winning the presidency or whatever election by a percentage. What he does, is he supposedly has this proprietary, known-only-to-him method of mass poll analysis. Supposedly Nate Silver has a way of taking every poll out there and putting them into his formula and coming up with meanings that other people haven't found a way to get.

The story here is that in polling data, young Millennials love Obama, but they're not buying what Hillary is selling. Hillary is having a tough time with them. There's something else. This guy was just hired. Nate Silver was just hired by the GOP. I think it was the GOP. I have to find this. He did a presentation, a seminar to Republican moneyed interests over the likelihood of their agenda being advanced and what progress there is to report on that front.

So he is rapidly becoming an authority within the upper-level reaches of the establishment. And when that happens, he's going to have the kind of image and reputation that whatever he says is gonna be considered gospel. If he's already being asked to present to the upper echelon of the wealthy within the establishment, that's quite a coup for Nate Silver. So he continues to climb his own individual ladder of success. This story from his own website details that the race, the presidential election continues to tighten.

"[S]ome voters younger than 25 might go back to their Democratic roots. Right now, they might feel like they can cast a protest vote for a third-party candidate without contributing to a Trump victory." They just don't like Hillary. They're not crazy about Trump, either, don't misunderstand. But they're not automatically going to Hillary, which means they're gettable. I think they're gettable. We'll find out.
