2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumTool Brokaw went out and tried to find every
single "young" person that "seemed" to be less enthusiastic about President Obama this time around. His little, obligatory anti-Obama report highlighted three people (three? way to work your ass off Tom!)... the only statistic he reported was that only 49% of "young" people intended to vote tomorrow compared to 63% "at the same time four years ago." Of course, it was too inconvenient to mention that this "young" demographic in question remains solidly democratic and quite a bit more liberal in their thinking that other demographics. Oh well, the media PTB sure won't be able to accuse Tom Brokaw of letting them down.
