NEW YORKCiting her lackluster support among young voters, campaign consultants to Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential frontrunner who has served as both a U.S. senator and secretary of state, reportedly instructed the candidate this week to be more inspiring. Right now, voters are looking for a candidate who stands for real societal change, someone who can stir something inside them, said media advisor Jim Margolis, urging the womanwho overcame entrenched societal biases to build a successful legal career, became the first female senator elected in the state of New York, oversaw the Department of State during a period of widespread international tumult, and, if elected, would be the first female president in American historyto appear more uplifting to voters. Many young people have completely lost faith in the political process, and they want to believe that true progress is actually possible. They want someone who embodies progressive ideals. Margolis added that Clinton was too much a part of the establishment she spent decades breaking down barriers to enter.

(45,851 posts)I think she'll get us a Republican President, Trump would slaughter her with her own words that Sanders has been far too polite and concerned for the future to use.
You'll see this and far worse endlessly on your TV.

(11,833 posts)Yes, I've seen those smear videos. I think Sanders or Clinton would both do a pretty good job at fending off right wing attacks like that one. I think either campaign would do a lot of slaughtering of Trump's words too.
