Really it also shows that moving forward the only thing really holding the Dems back is getting people out to vote. Obama got them out to vote. Hilalry didn't. It shouldn't take anymore than the statement "it's your future why are you letting your parents and grandparents control it? Do you want your vision for the country or theirs?" It clearly does but it shouldn't.

Bernie Sanders could still be a big problem. He had as much to do with low democrat turnout in the rust belt as anyone. If he runs again, and doesn't win, it will likely be the same problem again.
