Do you think Sanders’ support will help Clinton with younger voters?

Younger voters tend to be more liberal and certainly more naïve, however, I'm not sure if I'd necessary hand off the baton of Sanders' voter base in its entirely since I believe that even many Democrats didn't want Clinton and they saw Sanders as some sort of morally superior option. This being said, I think its more likely that young voter turnout will decrease given that we're choosing between a lesser of two evils from both a liberal and a conservative perspective.

Clinton has now taken up the Bernie Mantra and promised more free stuff. But young voters may not take anything Hillary's says very seriously. Many don't trust her and the recent polls show more than 50% polled by Fox & CBS think she lied about her emails and server

Well, the Director of the FBI said it directly to Congress, so they got a leg up on her there.

She's trying to unite the bases and she and the DNC have adopted some of what Bernie was championing so what has she got to loose? She cannot afford to have a heavily splintered party like the RNC is dealing with.

Sgt Tom Cunnally - I'm like you in regards to him. He had a LOT of good ideas, but in today's economic climate they are impossible to enact. Could we forgive some of the student load debt? Sure join the peace corps, job corps, or something like that where the more time in, you can deduct it against your college loans. As nice a that sounds, it won't be of much help. Med school is well over 100K so do we really eat that? Passing the bar? What about if Joe Snuffy wants to attend an Ivy league school. 100k could mean a couple of years in the school so as a guess 300k to get the degree, then grad school depending on major could double it? It's a fail no matter what is done. I DAMN sure don't want them in the military. Could you really imagine your CO telling you I'm only in until my debt is below a certain amount? But in "good faith" she can present it, let the Dems chew on it, and it goes into the trash can in the sky. She holds onto her word, and lets her peers push it out.

SSG Warren Swan - If more people actually vetted candidates and found a candidate that held similar views (there will never be a perfect candidate), then three things would happen:
1) The percentage of the popular vote that any one candidate garners would diminish greatly
2) The two party system would be destroyed.
3) Representative government would be more representative of the people than representative of the money as it is now.
Of course I am not going to hold my breath until that happens, as blue is not a good color on my face.

No. Typically young voter turnout is low and HRC gives no energy for them to come out in the numbers Burney could.
