(2,074 posts)(college freshmen, so on the younger side of the millennial generation): they tend to favor Bernie, but they also hate Trump (even the Republicans among them, and there are several). I've seen some of them start to warm up towards Hillary, although for the most part it seems that they have bought into the years of right wing smears of her (perpetuated most recently by the Bernie camp), so they're a little bit afraid of her. Some do like her, though, and even prefer her (especially some of the women). Of course I cannot try to dissuade them from any candidate, so I just listen to them (we often discuss current affairs, and that's when their political beliefs slip through), but it's been interesting to see how they have shifted. I would imagine that most of them will probably vote for Hillary in the GE in order to keep Trump out (or even Cruz, who seems to frighten a lot of them as well).
