Axelrod sums it up perfectly

[SheenaR]

" In answering question about why young should vote for her, @HillaryClinton spends too much time talking about HER & not THEM. #DemTownHall "

If she is the nominee she is going to have to fix this

[elleng]

1. Axelrod's been doing nicely recently.

[morningfog]

2. He's been great. I've always thought he was one of the best

at concise and pointed messaging. I think he will never forgive Hilary for her 2008 shit show.

I wish he'd join Bernie officially.

[JonLeibowitz]

3. He is harshly critical of Bernie too. Really he is a no-nonsense political operative. n/t

[askew]

9. Wow, you must not be following him on Twitter. He's been kissing her ass for ages and taking it

To Bernie over dumb stuff. I've been really disappointed in how quickly Obama's team sold out and became Team Hillary. They knew she was a bad candidate in 2008 and now they are trying to pretend they can't see her shitty campaign now.

4. For her the presidency is all about her, and not about us.

So why are we surprised at this observation?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

5. But Hillary is the reluctant candidate... I almost collapsed a lung laughing so hard at that one!

Gimme a break!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

6. Clinton's answer about young people...

was obviously a message-tested, bullshit, sound byte written by some junior PR copywriter who used to edit greeting cards.

"It doesn't matter if they're for me. I'll be for them."

Omg, she's gone full Hallmark.

[Binkie The Clown]

7. Just another meaningless generality. And we're surprised? n/t

[grasswire]

13. yes. Hallmark.

She couldn't wait to use that line.

And it's supposed to sway the young people? She underestimates their BS meter, seriously.

[askew]

8. That's telling because he spent most of the town hall gushing over her and her non-answers.

She is talking about herself and breaking the glass ceiling way too much. That just doesn't resonate with younger women. What people forget about Obama is that he always talked about us and we and how we are all in this together. It was "Yes We Can" and "Change We Can Believe In". Now we have "I'm With Her" and I am not going to over-promise. Hillary doesn't get that Dems need to be inspired to vote and her campaign isn't going to do that outside her diehard supporters. That won't be enough in a general election.

[zentrum]

10. Yeah, she's gonna

……..have to polish up her false persona a whole lot more.

I can see a SNL skit now with Hillary practicing her "we's".

[Betty Karlson]

11. She won't fix it: she and her campaign don't care about Millennials! eom

[Warren DeMontague]

12. Smart guy

yes indeed.
