Ask a millennial:
Which of the following things do only Millennials like?
--free wifi

When all else fails, ask The Onion
We’re experimenting with a new segment called” reading Onion headlines aloud. What do you think?

Key findings:
The race is headed toward New York. That should calm things down. I feel qualified to say Democrats feel more unified than Republicans. But i only have a few more weeks to call myself an undecided primary voter. This is just another thing on my to-do list stressing me out. We asked Millennials if they like free stuff & clean stuff. They said yes. And when we run out of things to say, which is never, we turn to the Onion.
