18. No, I haven't change my mind yet

Oct 2016

One of the reasons is that I don't believe that the Obama coalition is totally intact. Women are definitely on board, including a fair number of suburban women. I think that the black community will support Hillary, but they can't possibly be as enthusiastic as they were to elect the first black President. Hopefully the Clinton campaign's GOTV effort will get most of them to the polls. However, I don't believe the young people are fully on board. They sure are not as as enthusiastic as they were for Obama. And since Hillary isn't very well liked, third party candidates are going to be a factor this time around. I can certainly see a win in the cards, but a landslide, ....I am definitely not sure of that.

I am working on a piece on Hillary and the millennial vote which I hope to post in the next day or so. That in my mind is the mostly missing piece of the puzzle.
