203. Hillary getting the Millennials is not guaranteed

An actual Millennial speaks.
Excerpt:

"She claims to want to rein in abuses on Wall Street, but her top donors throughout her career have been Wall Street firms. And I’ll never forget her shameless invocation of 9/11 to justify those donations. Then, of course, there’s her “evolution.” She was against gay marriage for years; now that it is a popular position, she’s wrapping herself in a rainbow flag. She was for the Trans Pacific Partnership for years; now she’s against it, also coinciding with popular opinion. The real question I have is: What Hillary will people be voting for if she gets the nod?

I am also bothered by her political double talk. Whenever Hillary reminds us that she is, in fact, a woman, I can’t help feeling condescended to. Does she really think that gender is a substitute for policy positions in a Democratic primary? "

Hint:
When Hillary and her supporters try to win over the Millennials,
it is best not to ridicule, mock or belittle them.
They are no Tea-Partiers!
Many are, like this woman, educated, well-informed young
people who are fed-up with a system that has systematically short-changed working people,
young people, and the middle class, and this was not done by the GOP alone (NAFTA, GATT, 1995 Crime Bill,
1996 Telecommunications act, Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994,
repeal of Glass-Steagall ----All HUGE deals with far-reaching and lasting NEGATIVE impact on
great masses of people---And Bill Clinton backed every one, bigtime).

Sweeping these issues under the rug could be a colossal error for the Democratic Party
in this election. These are the fears of the Millennials, and these must be mitigated in order to securely
capture the Millennial vote and beat Trump in November.
If Hillary selected Bernie as running mate (assuming he'd accept), these problems would be largely
neutralized, and could be minimized as GOP weapons in the fall.

In addition, I would hope that Hillary would release the texts of her speeches to Goldman-Sachs
SOON, when we Democrats could work it out and mitigate any problems at a time WE SELECT.
Otherwise, you can be sure a shameless GOP will put it out when THEY want, at the time
that benefits THEM best (like October).

We are talking about winning now.
These are serious tactical/strategic questions.
