Would an ad from Kate McKinnon help rouse younger voters?

While she played a spoof caricature of RBG, it was also clearly out of love and respect, much as her HRC skits.

Could she pull off an ad that would have impact?

Should she?

Brought tears to my eyes then and just now watched again and damnit if I didn't have same reaction.

Hillary Clinton (Kate McKinnon) performs Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."

It was incredibly affecting. I think the same thing could happen this time.

Younger voters on a whole, are much smarter than us boomers. They will vote for Joe if we just simply respect them. And stop treating them like a bunch of popular culture fan-boys and girls.
