Showing Original Post only (View all)MSNBC Panel Mocks Clinton Campaign For Silencing Her Young Supporters [View all]
"Now why in the world would the campaign tell their own supporters who came out, young people, college kids, why in the world would you do that? This should raise some warning flags that for Hillary Clinton that is trying to control their supporters." said Susan Page, USA Today.

1. it was late breaking
2. it is news that a Democratic Party candidate would instruct supporters to not talk to the press
Some people feel that having the Clinton Campaign telling young supporters to not talk to the press isn't news. I think this is news, but I'm older and not as comfortable with the authoritarian direction that our political system is traveling.
Secondly, I think it is important for people deciding about a candidate's disposition and governing style to have access to information when making choices. We've seen the rope lines, evasive non-answers, and hedging. Very telling of an autocratic corporate style.
I can't believe people think these are the qualities that make a great American political leader. We have the most difficult challenges in the years ahead and a candidate who is incapable of dealing with the issues in a straightforward manner for fear she may make Wall Street bankers a bit uncomfortable with the inconvenient truths.
