Clinton Camp Probably Leaked "Millennials Living In Basements" Comments Deliberately

The idiot media eats it up cause they think it hurts her.

Her team uses Sanders to double down and allows her to strongly start pitching to the Millennials through the Trump noise.

Yes, I think her camp is very savvy at manipulating the media.

showing how well she and her team prepared, I do think they might be playing some deep strategy.

Actually, it's not so deep.

The Media does what it does. We can predict the crap they'll spew.

So if you just accept that, it makes it easier to manipulate.

Throw out some chum and have your ship in position and ready to go when they show up.

tRump's illogical and manic approaches. He's a master of gaining attention, but she's trumped him (ahem) on controlling the narrative.

But I do know that are smart enough to turn this to their advantage. You can't control everything, but you can control how you respond.

Its weakness is proven by the fact that he didn't actually release it weeks ago like he promised. Now it's damage control for Trump losing Debate 1 so badly.

It is very sympathetic to the plight of millennials who graduated with student debt and can't find jobs in their field because of the GOP really...she wants to help them.

She is winning me over big time. In the span of a week I've gone from "Yeah, well I'm voting for her because what choice do I have?" to "Hell yeah. I'm voting for her. This is gonna be good. She's kicking ass."

And the idea that she might have leaked this is appealing to me.

Please keep it up future President Clinton.
