Hillary campaign boss: Obama voters are on board

Hillary Clinton is finding broad support on the 2016 presidential campaign trail not just among older Democratic voters, but with the young Americans who were instrumental in electing President Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate's campaign manager said Wednesday.
"That coalition of voters that was so strong for Obama, including young people, we're seeing in the polling and as Hillary is out campaigning, they're on board," Robby Mook told CNBC's "Squawk Box."

Voters are looking for a president who will be a champion for everyday people, Mook said. For young voters, that means creating the conditions that will allow them to get a college education without taking on debt and find employment after graduation, he added.

For seniors, it means standing up for Social Security and Medicare, two entitlement programs Clinton has a track record of protecting, Mook said.

And that's the sign of true leaders. The ability & willingness to evolve beyond old policies that no longer work for the way the people & the world demand.
Those who refuse to evolve remain stuck in the medieval governing system like the riders in the clown car.

Those who refuse to evolve stand still while the world & the universe moves on without them.

So Bernie must 'evolve' to the right, cuz else the universe will move to the right without him?? Good luck with that fantasy.

Bernie does not need to 'evolve' because he is correct. He will not change any of his positions.

I'd prefer a President who is willing to move forward.
Rather not have the riders of the clown car who's policies set humanity back to the 1700's & similarly have no problem nor clue that their driver has the gear shift stuck in reverse.

4 or so more years of corporate Dem rule. Very sad that the party of the New Deal, Square Deal, 2nd Bill Of Rights, Great Society, VRA, CRA, and War on Poverty is now the party of Fracking, Offshore Drilling, Arctic Drilling, KXL, TPP, RTTT, Heritage Care, and, oh yeah, abortion rights.
