Problem you say? This was grossly predictable and camp Bernie wanted to ensure it would go this way.
I think only those that are so anti-establishment they want to burn it all to the ground, or they are so far left they are coming back around right, converted over to Trump.
Jill Stein @4%. Good.
Take your homeopathic anti-vax act back to Marin County, where it belongs.

We still need to be worried. There are many uneducated voters who identify with Drumpf and think Bin Laden is still alive and that Obama is a Muslim. Their answer to the complexity of life is to rant and pout, so a ranting/pouting Drumpf (his default conditions) is their catharsis. They're one or two rungs of the ladder closer to the black and browns, and that's what sends them into fits. "Burn it all down" is better than the insult to white pride. Camp Bernie isn't motivated by the loss of white pride.
He never had them. Young voters were Bernie bots and always clueless liberals.
But can he win without that demographic?
Young voters flee Donald Trump in what may be historic trouncing, poll shows
Clinton is consolidating the support, if not the enthusiasm, of Bernie's backers

Hillary's Millennial problem is Huge says former Obama Campaign Manager
http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/videos/2016-09-27/david-plouffe-hillary-clinton-s-millennial-problem-is-huge
Clinton's slick convention, and President Barack Obama's support, left her with a 24-point lead over Donald Trump among millennials as determined by Quinnipiac in August. The same pollster finds her lead this week down to just five points among young adults. A Fox News poll had Clinton winning Millennials by 27 points in August, and by only nine this week.
Looks like the Millennials don't trust a Bankster Cock Sucker to stop H1Bs and aggressive, government subsidized outsourcing.

That is good news as we can send Hillary back to the hell that spawned her and the Millennials are smelling the coffee.
Millennials are favoring Clinton by as much as 50%. Pew research graph:
And it only gets worse from here Tea/NeoCon/Repubs, unless you can change your appeal ... because the dominant political generation is about to be up-ended.

Edit:
Hillary is trying to energize voter turnout and action on election day. She already has the millennial demographic in her pocket, because of Trump, so she just needs them to act.
Millennials have shockingly bad voter turnout.
Yup that is true. OTOH the Libertarians have an opportunity down the road.

Any left of center candidate concerned about wealth disparity has a huge opportunity upcoming ... yes. We are certain to see another Bernie-like in 2020. We may see a more traditional conservative with Trump-like anti-establishment views too.
If educated most people find out that they are Ls. It is a matter of learning them.
BTW Libertarians have by far the best answer for ALL of those issues.
Too bad those numbers don't reflect who will actually vote. But more importantly, the infographic you posted is months behind, in June. Before the Conventions, even.
Hillary's Millennial vote share has collapsed from a 24 point advantage high after the Dem Primary to just a few percentage points over the past few weeks, as per the link in the above post.
Here's a process oriented, statistics and infograph heavy article from Bloomberg about Hillary and the "Berniependents", who, despite claims, have largely not followed Bernie in endorsing Hillary. Particularly in heavily White Northern States like Wisconsin and New Hampshire.

Among ages 18-34, those who claim they will definitely vote is way down. She's not gonna get Obama in 2008 numbers.

Yep, the opportunities are huge for a candidate concerned with Economic Issues, that actually has a policy instead of "Aspiration, $50k Education required for an Entry Level Job that can be outsourced or H1-B'd at any time." Neoliberal pablum.
Trump is to the left of Clinton on economic issues. She intends to change nothing of any substance, her backers demand it. Plus, she'll have a hostile, post-Trump, return-to-country-club GOP to deal with in Congress.
Bull crap this is going to be the most votes cast in any election.
Why would people tune into to a debate they have no plans in voting for either?
Not once in the history of America young voted for common sense. Young vote for fools gullible promises of liar Democrats, it takes at least 15 years of getting fucked by liberal policies and taxation before it dawns on them. And by that point they young no more.

Please stop. He is to the right of Bush on fiscal policy. And last I checked, fiscal policy is a pretty important economic issue.
What are the numbers on women voters?
What are the numbers on millennials that don't show up on polls? Or the fact that their numbers have increased since 2008?
Hillary is most likely going to win because of the voters that don't show up on the polls.
Next election though and a decent candidate and less Libertarian infighting, maybe?
