"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 campaigns 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 states outreach to the Vermont senators most ardent backers.
Clinton has thus far been unable to replicate Sanders' success with the group thats 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 Clintons political effort has entered a new phase of outreach: members of losing campaigns often fold into the party nominees efforts, and Ojha who was a field organizer for Barack Obama in 2008 is the first public hire.

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

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.
