Joel Benensen: "We've got to take our message to the young people"

He's part of Hillary's camapaign, and that's his response to the overwhelming support of Bernie by young Iowans.

I am wondering, exactly, what that message will be.

Anyhow, what would that message be? "No, we can't" doesn't resonate well with young voters (or a lot of old ones, for that matter).

I'd say to reach out to young voters, you're gonna need a better candidate.

We need NEW leadership. Party of Clinton, rest in peace.
