Clinton wins
2)http://www.npr.org/2016/04/25/475658752/harvard-poll-millennials-yearn-for-bernie-but-prefer-clinton-to-trump
Sixty-one percent of 18-to-29 year-olds prefer that a Democrat be elected president in the fall, while 33 percent of those surveyed back a Republican. That gap of 28 percentage points has nearly doubled since a similar poll conducted last year, when the difference was just 15 percentage points with Democrats again in the majority.
In a hypothetical head-to-head contest among likely voters, Democrat Hillary Clinton trounces Republican Donald Trump, 61 percent to 25 percent a 36-point margin. Of those likely voters surveyed, 14 percent said they were undecided.
The poll found that millennials largely reject Trump, the leading Republican candidate. He has the highest negative ratings of any of the candidates included in the survey: 74 percent have an unfavorable view of Trump compared with 17 percent who have a favorable view of the billionaire businessman. Among millennials who identify as Republican, Trump's numbers remain 20 points underwater in terms of favorability (37 percent positive to 57 percent negative).

Hillary wins again.
3) Speculation on your part and sounds like personal bias more than anything.
There is this from that Harvard poll as well..
I think what's striking about this is, when we look at young voters who view Bernie Sanders very favorably, Clinton actually has 80 percent of that vote," John Della Volpe, the director of the Harvard Institute of Politics poll, told reporters in a conference call Monday.
Kind of undermines your point, and Hillary wins again.
4)http://www.wsj.com/articles/independents-are-souring-on-hillary-clinton-1462310510
That poll found that 20% of independents viewed Mrs. Clinton positively, compared with 62% who viewed her negatively.
Mr. Trumps standing among independents is even worse than that of his would-be general-election rival. Just 19% of independents viewed Mr. Trump favorably in the latest poll, while 67% had a negative opinion.
Close but still a win for Hillary.

Sen.Lindsey Graham
If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed... and we will deserve it.

Again doesn't support your claim.
6) Seems like speculation on your part. I would bet there are a whole lot of women out there quite excited by the prospect of a woman president. Even if it is Hillary.
7)Again speculation on your part.
8)I will give you 8 but then being trump is not a great place to be either.
9) Arguable but the idea that wanting change = Trump is a good idea is highly questionable.
10) Agreed not the best candidate however once again we have Trump who by any metric is an even worse candidate.
Again Hillary wins

Trump sucks, but how many pundits and statisticians and candidates have underestimated him? I see no

The money has disagreed for the last 18 months. I'd say a consistent, longstanding pattern exists.

does it take much practise to be that snarky. Dem to Dem, you should be a little nicer.

I think you're overestimating Trumps "appeal" or HRC's lack of appeal. nt

True. They are such rigid idealogues that it would be impossible for them to change course.

Sorry, but this is silly. The Feceralist Society picks Republican Supreme Court nominees.
