Why millennials have abandoned Obama

Dana Milbank   ... "The next night, after Obama’s victory celebration in Des Moines, Obama strategist Steve Hildebrand spotted me in a crowd. “The kids showed up!” he said fiercely.
 
"They did. But where are they now?
 
"An army of 15 million voters under 30 swept Obama past Hillary Clinton and John McCain and to the presidency in 2008. More than 12 million helped him return in 2012. But now his presidency is on the line — and the Obama youth are abandoning him in his hour of need.
....
"Asking them to pay money to join a health-care exchange, it seems, is too tall an order — even though the presidency they created depends on it."
