After electing and reelecting a minority President for the first time in this nation's history, we're supposed to go back to The Good Ol' Days? We go from "Yes We Can!" to "Okay We Did, Now It's Old Rich White Peoples' Turn Again"? Yeah, I'm not feelin' it. Sorry.
She's walked the Halls of Power most of her adult life. She's rubbed shoulders with The Rich and Powerful most of her adult life. She lived in The White House for eight years. She's been a Senator. She's been Secretary of State.
Seriously, how do you sell that to young people and minorities? "It's Her turn."? "She's earned it."? Certainly not with words like "Change" and/or "New Blood" or "Outsider". Without the minority vote, without the young vote, Hillary doesn't get elected in my opinion. Yeah, she's a Woman, but she's STILL an Old Guard, Rich White Establishment person.
No Sale.
