Millennial Volunteers Flock to Support Clinton

[SecularMotion]

TOLEDO, IA - "Give us a honk! Honk for Hillary!" Jesse Barkin yelled, as Clinton supporters arrived at the convention center on Monday afternoon. This millennial came all the way from Maine to volunteer for Clinton's campaign.

"I think she represents millennials and pragmatic and progressive thinking," Barkin said. "I think she's the candidate to win so I'm out here doing everything I can in the cold."

Right next to Barkin stood Katie Costella in 10 degrees clutching a 'Hillary for Iowa' sign in her hands. She traveled nearly 1,000 miles from Warrenton, Va. to support Clinton. Both Barkin and Costella, between their chattering teeth, said they were in their mid-20s.

"It's just her time to get in the White House. We need someone who's going to build on what Obama has done for the past eight years," Costella said. "We need to make sure we don't get a Republican in there that's going to set us back."

3. AT least they are not kicking the homelss out of where they stay

on the coldest night so far.

10. You always have a comeback even if its wrong dont you?

You know I see what happening and all the lies being tossed around by the Hillary surrogates and it is just a damn shame to see a Democratic candidate using Lee Atwater,Karl Rove,Dick Cheney tactics.
When the Clinton campaign uses a blunder in American politics caused by Bill Clinton himself as President then blames that on the opposition, well that is truly an act of desperation and deterioration in Hillary's credibility . Hillary Clinton is going to lose because if she happens to win the nomination she is going ask everyone to overlook her dirty underhanded,Republican style tactics and vote for her....Thats when a huge Majority will turn their backs and walk away and stay home on election day.




Go Bernie !!! We can do this !!!!!

11. How is it wrong?

It happened and there is no denying that. Here's your chance to prove it's wrong.

[INdemo]

16. Hillary supporters just cannot discuss the issues because

they know Bernie Sanders is right.
The Sanders Campaign did not kick homeless out in the cold.
The City actually allows a church to use the same facility
and the "warming station' was switched to a different area.
As usual you Hillary supporters attack,attack attack without checking out the facts............

20. You didnt watch the video then

[snoringvoter]

21. Boy, you're at it

Bernie said his rally was 'downstairs' and he didn't know that the upstairs (the warming station) area is closed because of it. Nobody *informed* him, plus Bernie would have said "Keep it open!" if he heard about it.

Don't let the lie that you just parroted keep you.

[artislife]

29. Drip drip drip goes the lead for h...

we are waiting for you all to take the kitchen sink off the wall and hurl it.

6. What the flock?

Bernie Sanders has a 19-point lead over Hillary Clinton among Democratic and independent women ages 18 to 34, according to a USA Today/Rock the Vote poll.

The poll also showed Sanders is the favorite among younger voters. He wins 57 percent of those ages 18 to 25, according to the same poll. His support falls to 36 percent among people between 26 and 34.
Clinton has only 25 percent support in the 18- to 25-year-old age group. But she has 44 percent of those ages 26 to 34, the poll says.

He didn't travel one thousand miles to Iowa on his own money ......... that's for sure

He's not a volunteer but a paid operative.

[Segami]

14. Honk, if you're a paid operative...lol!

nice find!......

[Odin2005]

23. Good find!

[peacebird]

26. Color me shocked that Hillary's 'Flock' contains paid operatives......

Shocked!


Such is the enthusiasm she generates.....

[azmom]

15. LOL

17. LOL!

22. Middle Class wanabe political careerists.

They are looking to get into the corporatist gravy train.

[Ichingcarpenter]

24. The story is fluff notice the girl

is from Virginia and he's from Maine?

Well she's his underling and both are from Virginia and both from William and Mary.

The piece from Huffington Post is a propaganda piece
and dishonest.

''Flock'' is commonly use to describe sheep but this is more like a wake of buzzards, a mischief of mice, or a venue of vultures.

[peacebird]

27. Sweet. Reminds me of the gang protesting hanging chads in Florida. They were all republican

staffers from DC

[pinebox]

25. Millennials are solidly in Bernie camp
