        Segments included religion and ethnicity. Sr. Dem operative says they're more appealing to people looking to cause chaos vs. win a campaign

        Some of these Facebook segments are quite interesting: "Multicultural Millennials" are liberal, like weed, football, Modi & Kardashianspic.twitter.com/llgAajmOaf
