7. We Need To Step Up The Promotion Of Clinton On Tv and Online To Win...She Needs To Do Something Too

Hillary needs to do something unconventional that will grab peoples attention. My mother who was a wealthy Republican for decades and voted democrat the last 10 years sees no choice and will vote Green Party. The last thing on earth my mom would normally do is vote Green or Progressive. Anyone whining that it's just some loud, disaffected hippies and anarchists is blind as a bat. We need to vote for Clinton but this is a barometer of the country and smart people pay attention to such things. My mother is an establishment moderate conservative and trusts neither of the major candidates. If Trump wins plan on a military coup or revolution in the streets. If Hillary wins we will be lucky if we get the status quo but that beats chaos regardless if you feel you are being emotionally and politically blackmailed. Its a sad reality yes...one that will be addressed at some point as the truth cannot be hidden forever but now we need to vote Hillary and a win will require more than fancy conventions or commercials. Hopefully Hillary has a plan beyond the normal machinations. This race may come down to who is disaffected more and cant motivate turnout, the democrats or republicans, and whether the 3rd or 4th party peels more votes away. My biggest worry is the racists that never voted before are coming out to support Trump. Scary.
