A bank teller today illustrated how Bill Clinton may provide a "halo effect" for Hillary

46. I appreciate this reply, immensely.

This was by no means an attempt to say that certain votes are more valuable than others.

The statistics are, simply, that more young white men vote for Republicans that Democrats. So when I point out the opposite statistical potential I do not in any way intend to call out any race. I say it is important. I believe that Republicans have undue influence on white males. And yes, I used the race designation there, but it's in the statistics. I'm not just making it up or anything like that.

So to me it is potentially fortuitous that that certain demographic might vote for a democrat, particularly Clinton. It is not meant to be a "lure" as a "good vibe." It is just a potential statistical anomaly. I don't know if the OP's story is true or if the OP's teller was simply paying "lip service." All I can say is with all honesty I wouldn't care, and would be completely happy if it was a young white male, a demographic that Democrats have a hard time appealing to, saying such positive things.

I admit I potentially stepped out of bounds by referencing "particularly white males" but I stand by that because of the undue influence Republicans have had for so long. And it seems you don't wholly disagree on that count.

I meant no ill commentary and apologize for any inferences to those ends. We must win all the vote, male, female, white, black, hispaic, asian, combined. But I strongly believe that a certain segment is overwhelmingly voting against their own interests and I believe any indication that it is fighting it should be encouraged.

Not bemoaned as "low info voters."
