Can Democrats Get Millennials to Vote In 2018?

72. "They want to vote FOR someone."

I hear what you're saying, but sometimes, that's not always an option--voting for a candidate who makes you "tingle all over" so to speak.

I was 27 in 1988 when Michael Dukakas ran for president. Not millennialish, but not that old either. Now TBH, I never felt the oomph or felt my hair standing up on the back of my neck EVER during his candidacy, but KNEW because I wasn't intellectually lazy as some younger voters can be that he was intelligent, knew the issues, was much more honest and the better choice policy-wise for me as a younger working woman than Bush 41 was. As I told another poster in this very thread, I've always voted for my own best interests, and that meant voting for Michael Dukakis. No, Dukakis didn't give me any chills up my spine, but like I said, he was the far better candidate for me and my way of life than Bush 41, the Republican was.

Now as far as the type of campaign Dukakis ran. OMG, so many levels of wrong and so many missteps went on there with his campaign unfortunately. Years later, after much thought, he admitted that he should have listened to campaign manager Susan Estrich (Who is legal counsel of sexually, assaulting pig Roger Ailes these days ), and run a far different type of campaign vs the GOP/Bush 41 than he ran. He said he would have been more aggressive, not allow lies on him to go unchecked etc. Oh Lord, let me let the memories of that 1988 Dukakis presidential run alone now
