You should read the posts from the "secret" Facebook group that a couple woman set up because they wanted a place where they could talk about HRC without being insulted, or having her insulted. And in a month there were 3 million extremely enthusiastic members of this "secret" closed group. Now almost 4 million.
All our kids need to be encouraged to work at the local level to elect the kinds of people we want to see in the House. Nancy can only do so much -- the rest is up to us.
I just looked at the latest numbers, and Hillary already has more than 65 million voters, with the
count still ongoing. In the end I think she will have "inspired" as many voters, or almost as many, as Obama in 2012 -- despite the millions of votes lost to purging of registrations, new ID requirements, the shutting down of polling places and cutbacks in early voting days, and all the other methods of voter suppression that have occurred since 2013, when the Courts dismantled the voting rights act.
