this is such the thing that most people never think about
the older voters ALWAYS turn out, the youth are fickle as hell and rarely show in the numbers that represent their demographic and the evidence seems to show that Sanders is bringing them out in numbers that would codify the polling numbers that support him
the early contests have not shown the level of youth turnout that one would expect if Sanders truly was bringing them out, and especially not to the level Obama did in 2008
