This makes it imperative that we elect a Democrat. I feel like this gives a boost to Hillary Clinton. We need to win the White House at all cost. I don't care if we receive money from big donors. We need a Democratic presidential to fill the vacancy.

(80,708 posts)Maybe instead of paying beltway consultants millions for "authenticity rollouts" and poll-tested sound bites, she could actually try taking a bold stand or two on issues that young people, in particular, care about.
