Related: About this forumAt Hillary Clinton’s Iowa campaign offices, Bernie Sanders’s ‘excitement’ dig is a rallying cry
At Hillary Clinton's campaign offices all across Iowa, staffers are using rival Bernie Sanders's own words as new motivation in the four days left until the caucuses.
This week, in an interview with The Washington Post, Sanders claimed that the Clinton campaign was incapable of generating enthusiasm in the same way that his campaign has especially among the young and the disaffected.
What this campaign is about, and Im seeing it every day, is an excitement and energy that does not exist and will not exist in the Clinton campaign, Sanders told The Post's John Wagner.
The comment has particularly galled the Clinton campaign, which believes that reports of an enthusiasm gap between the campaigns are greatly exaggerated.
And so, at campaign offices from Waukee to Ames, Sanders's quote now adorns whiteboards and poster boards, put there by Clinton staffers and volunteers hoping to prove him wrong.

gin up "excitement." That ship has been sailing for three months.

admitting that there is no excitement for Hillary. Now if they can just take the next step and see this will jump to the GE if they manage to get her nominated.
