It seems a reasonable argument to me. I think the Bernie youth movement has a bit of a ceiling too. Sure, there is a group of loud, young Bernie supporters, but a lot of young people are pretty apathetic/apolitical, or just anti-Trumpers. I don't know that Bernie gets young people outside his core supporters to vote that wouldn't already vote. The only real factor is his supporters staying home or voting for Trump in protest if he isn't the nominee.
