2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumJoel 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.

No, we Can't -- will now to try borrow Bernie's platform, but realistically, only to fail after she gets the crown? No thanks.
We need NEW leadership. Party of Clinton, rest in peace.
