@Stuffshot: I have had the opposite experience. For the record, I support Sanders and I am vehemently anti-Clinton, so you can imagine my thoughts at the current state of the GOP. Unlike many Americans, I can actually support my beliefs with facts, not opinion.
After several conservations (several being in the range of maybe 30 people) with "millennials" I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of their knowledge and why they were voting for their candidate. On the other hand, I have been dismayed at how arrogantly stupid many of my friends and relatives are when it comes to politics. Many of them are for Trump and direct their righteous indignation at "the Government" or blacks or latinos or Muslims. I am saddened and frightened by how completely ignorant many members of Gen X and the Baby Boomers are.
Here's a test: go ask your friends and family what were the main contributing factors to the 2008 economic collapse. Ask them what a subprime mortgage is. Ask them which party cuts veteran's benefits. Hell, ask them any in depth question, and the overwhelming lack of knowledge on the most important topics facing the USA is staggering.
I have a hell of a lot more faith in the so-called millennial generation than I do my own or my parents'.
