Enthusiasm? You want ENTHUSIASM? Iowa Hillary supporters have it in abundance

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/1/31/1477636/-Enthusiasm-You-want-ENTHUSIASM-Iowa-Hillary-supporters-have-it-in-abundance


Hillary supporters are ready to rock and roll in Iowa

There is a common wisdom swirling about, the “wisdom” that Bernie has more enthusiasm, more passion, among his supporters than Hillary. That “wisdom” is being seriously tested and seemingly put on its head, proven to be completely false, in Iowa right now.

Bernie himself suggested this meme in a very ill advised, rather arrogant, statement to the Washington Post the other day:
[link:https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/with-iowa-win-within-sight-sanders-grows-more-combative-toward-clinton/2016/01/24/5f8610d0-c2c1-11e5-a4aa-f25866ba0dc6_story.html?tid=a_inl|
Sanders: Clinton is running a ‘desperate’ campaign that lacks excitement]

“What this campaign is about, and I’m seeing it every day, is an excitement and energy that does not exist and will not exist in the Clinton campaign,”
Way to dismiss the countless supporters, volunteers, canvassers, phone bankers, who are out there in the freezing cold, working their hearts out for Hillary.


Hillary volunteers in Iowa are taking Bernie’s undeserved slam and dismissal personally:

At Hillary Clinton’s Iowa campaign offices, Bernie Sanders’s ‘excitement’ dig is a rallying cry]


All over Iowa field offices and volunteer offices Bernie’s statement was put up as a rallying cry, to illustrate how out of touch Bernie is with the reality on the ground in Iowa

Those pics are heartwarming. Made me all warm and fuzzy inside - seriously.

The contented look on the woman's face just made me feel really good inside.

It doesn't inspire my confidence. In contrast, it's very EASY for me to see that Hillary has got a firm grasp on reality and that she has a deep understanding of complex issues. She can speak at length and in-depth about any subject. She doesn't bluff her way through. She doesn't pivot and change the subject. She doesn't speak in generalities. She doesn't rely on bumper-sticker slogans. She's totally prepared.
