Sanders' Campaign Personnel Joining Clinton Team

Sanders' Campaign Personnel Joining Clinton Team

"SNIP.................



Hillary Clinton's organization is wise to welcome the addition of several of Bernie Sanders' fine campaign organizers who have vowed to fight as hard as Hillary to stop a Trump Presidency. The Sanders staffers have done incredible work by mobilizing and energizing new, younger voters. Nevermind the obvious fact that they need jobs too, these talented political operatives are bringing some much-needed enhancements to the outreach efforts of the Clinton Campaign.

.From POLITICO:


Kunoor Ojha is the Clinton campaign’s first major hire from the Sanders campaign, and her move to a role where she will work with the state teams to mobilize young voters represents a significant step in the former secretary of state’s outreach to the Vermont senator’s most ardent backers.


Clinton has thus far been unable to replicate Sanders' success with the group that’s pivotal to Democrats, and the move — coming as her campaign swings toward its general election match-up against Donald Trump — suggests that she is looking directly at bringing Sanders’ backers to her side.


It also means that Clinton’s political effort has entered a new phase of outreach: members of losing campaigns often fold into the party nominee’s efforts, and Ojha — who was a field organizer for Barack Obama in 2008 — is the first public hire.

It's started to move away from the platform ... hop on board and get a good seat up front or near the club-car ... wait and you'll be stuck in the baggage car or the caboose ... wait too long and you'll be left at the station.

Stand in the way, and the train will run you over. There's no stopping us now!

Whoo-woooo!

independents even should her message change.

There is a trust factor involved, and fear of the
boogeyman won't do it anymore.

She should stick to telling repug women that she
shares their values. That could be more successful.
