Clintons Comments Show that she Gets It!

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/clinton-comments-on-sanders-supporters-in-leaked-recording/ar-BBwSqN7?li=BBnb7Kz
After reading Hillarys unscripted, unrehearsed, and unpolished comments about Sanders supporters I see that she gets it.
I think this was leaked to smear her, but as a millennial that struggled to find a job after graduating during the Great Recession... I, for one, say that she is exactly right. My anxiety about the economy stems from the state of the economy when I graduated from college. It was bad.
I want better social programs, but also understand that a tax increase of that size on the middle class would slow growth and catapult us back to 2008 and 2009.
So for those that think Hillary is out of touch and doesn't get it. She clearly does!!!

They said basically the same thing as me. They thought it was going to be damning and they actually really appreciated her awareness and call for her supporters to understand and not to vilify Bernie supporters.

But I sure understand the kind of bind millennials are in. College costs are prohibitive and the job market is as tough as an old boot. It ain't easy out there! I hope Bernie supporters understand Sec. Clinton has always been an advocate for young people. She is not new to these issues - no matter what some may think.

by taxing stock market trades, not taxing the middle class. I understood that the tax was mostly directed at the massive electronic trading that speculators profit by.
