Interesting demographic report.

My wife was at a "Bernstorm" last night in West LA. (I Had to stay home with the kid).

When she got home I asked her about the make up of the group (There were over 50 people there and the "meeting" was only called a couple of days ago). So... "Mostly millennials?" I asked?

"No" Mostly people in their 40's, 50s, 60s.

"Mostly men, though, right"?

"No, probably more women than men.. I didn't count".

It's funny, maybe at the rallies there are mostly the young, who don't mind standing in line for hours, etc and it is awesome, but don't let anyone tell you that is his only base of support!

1. I think most of the older people are trying to do for the younger what our parents and grandparents

did before us. Try to improve things for the next generations. That has been something forgotten over time.

3. If most of the older people were doing that then Bernie would be crushing HRC.

I WISH most of the older people in this country were trying to improve things for next generations instead of saddling them with the status quo which clearly is not working for the millennials and simultaneously saying that we CAN'T do the things that they desperately need to have done.

They have refused to even BEGIN to build consensus for a future that MIGHT usher in new possibilities. They have stomped their foot down and said NO.

We'll be right where we are now (or further removed) in ten years if HRC leads the Party. And, I guess then they will continue to say the same damn things because we'll still be saddled with a fuck ton of New Democrats in Congress that don't want to do the things that we want and need them to do for us. They'd rather cash in for themselves and serve monied and powerful interests.

4. I'm out there canvassing. Most of the older people are uninformed voters.

They know Hillary's name and that she is a woman.

One guy knew that Bernie was Jewish and said, "Well, you know. They are all alike." By the way, he had an accent so I don't think he was born in the US. I guess I have to excuse his lack of understanding of the freedom of religion for that reason, but . . . it was pretty upsetting to me.

Anyway, if you want uninformed voters, talk to the Hillary supporters. Ask a Bernie supporter and he or she can tell you why Bernie is the choice. Ask a Hillary supporter and you don't get an answer. Just kind of a dazed look.

And I am not a threatening looking person: short and old, that's me. People like to talk to me. But Hillary supporters cannot explain why they are voting for her not Bernie other than one who said he was Socialist and the other who said he was Jewish. Those answers still don't tell me why the people are voting for Hillary.

Low info voters = Hillary voters.

Nary a thought in their heads at least not about politics.

I remember being horrified in the Kerry campaign in 2004 when the young Kerry supporters I was campaigning with, a couple of whom had degrees in political science, could not answer the questions of voters about what Kerry stood for.

Ignorant campaigners are not a good sign in a campaign. Bernie supporters are focused on the issues and know why they prefer Bernie. I am happy about that.

2. The ones in their 40s, 50s, 60s are more likely to have kids and/or elderly parents.

They don't get out as much, period.

5. My findings

were about the same at my Bernie meetings to date, this year. Older group, mostly women.
