Asian voters travel miles to hear Hillary Clinton's pitch

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Jeanne Serrano traveled nearly 400 miles from the Bay Area suburb of Vallejo to San Gabriel to hear Hillary Clinton's pitch to woo Asian American voters. When the 46-year-old attorney walked out of the hotel ballroom after the Democratic presidential hopeful's speech Thursday, she was nearly in tears.

Clinton had devoted time to calling for immigration reform, and she drew some of her strongest applause when she vowed to shorten wait times for those seeking visas.

“I have a brother that we have been waiting more than 15 years and still he is not here, he is the last person we have in the Philippines,” Serrano said. “To hear her talk about it — I was so fired up.”

It was exactly the kind of connection Clinton's campaign was looking to make at the San Gabriel Hilton in the official kickoff of an effort to cement support from the fastest-growing racial group in the nation. While California is considered a lock for Democrats next fall, Asian voters in swing states such as Nevada and Virginia could make the difference. The event was aimed as much at solidifying votes of those in the crowd as recruiting volunteers to help sway other Asian voters across the country.

2. Nope

This Asian American and his family does not stand with the status quo, the corporate candidate, the candidate who is in the pocket of wall street. We are proudly supporting Bernie Sanders.

4. Why are you trying to start a verbal altercation with me over an innocuous post?

Thank you in advance.

5. In other words, you're not one of the Asian voters who traveled miles to hear Clinton.

6. I think its fair

To say that I am an Asian American who does not support Hillary. This was posted in GD-P right? It felt like the OP is trying to speak for all Asian Americans, so I felt it was OK to inject my two cents.

7. Nowhere did I suggest I or Hillary speaks for all Asians.

I respectfully ask that you prove your assertion or withdraw your calumny against me.


Thank you in advance.
