20. What I find shocking is that she has done absolutely nothing at all to try to win our votes. Nothing

"I support you even if you don't support me" is not going to cut it.
Not when the majority of millennials are so excited about Bernie. To assume that she will get their vote is ridiculous, short sighted. They will just stay home.

And it goes deeper than that. I'm an oldie. And at this moment I don't think I can vote for her. Trump is insane, a racist megalomaniac. But he is to the left of her on trade AND regime change. That irritates the crap out of me. That said, there is no way that I will vote for him.

To take us for granted is a huge mistake. And the MSM and her campaign are forgetting one thing - her negatives are so high! People do not trust her.

Lets see if the media begins to hold her feet to the fire about winning our votes.

The ball is in her court.
