Yes, Young Women Support Hillary Clinton — And They're Just as Excited as Sanders' Fans

[UrbScotty]

To find out what's motivating the group of young women who are supporting Clinton, Mic went to Clinton's campaign headquarters in Concord, New Hampshire, on Sunday to talk to the young volunteers and organizers spending their time trying to elect Clinton president. Planned Parenthood president and CEO Cecile Richards was there to rally the troops and we expected to find a crowd of older women working on Clinton's behalf.

Instead, the room was bustling with young students eager to hit the pavement and canvass for Clinton in the final days before the New Hampshire primary.

We asked them why they're supporting Clinton over Sanders, and their responses revealed a diverse mix of optimism and cool-headed pragmatism. The young women we spoke to were excited to be part of the first generation to elect a female president, and believe a Clinton victory would be a triumph for women across the country.

4. There was a conversation about this during our local NPR program Air Talk.

Civil and clearly a generational shift from the lessons during the emergence of Feminism.

I hope the Clintons back away from this argument. It's not the strongest and could cause lasting divisions.

I came across this article on the long shot campaign of Sanders. We need a clear voice from Hillary to seal the deal on her credentials, goals and ideas for how to achieve them.

Case closed.

5. I love this!

Especially after reading about some really nasty stuff going on in Nevada by some Bernie supporters. Talk about dirty tricks!
