Senior Hillary Adviser Tells Students He's Nervous They Will Like The Tax Cuts And Vote Republican
2018-01-08
[Daily Caller] One of Hillary Clinton’s longest-serving, most-trusted political advisers is deeply worried that young voters will see more money in their bank accounts after the GOP tax cuts and therefore consider voting Republican.
They really should stay with the Democratic party. There's much more work to be done.
Philippe Reines served as a senior adviser to Hillary Clinton for more than a decade in multiple roles in both her Senate and state department offices. He also advised Clinton in the lead up to her presidential campaign. Reines sat down with Washington interns to give his assessment of the political landscape after the 2016 election. Reines was asked by a young woman about the future of young voters in politics. The Clinton advisor first began by saying he didn’t know "how millennials think" and that it is "unclear what will get them going."

Reines speculated that someone like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren would be good at tapping youth enthusiasm but went on to say he is fearful that Trump and GOP policies will begin to animate millennials, specifically when they see their taxes go down.

#8  When I said "It isn't free -- someone has to pay for it" the conversation came to an abrupt halt.

Of course it's free. They just print more money! Tee hee!

#7  Find a way to allow those with student debt to take a tax deduction against their state taxes and he'd klll the blue model and win the millennials in one swoop. Of course that would have to be done at the State level and the Pubs at the state level in blue states seem to be more or less incompetent (at least in California).

Anecdote: While having my haircut the woman stylist enthused about her European vacation ...and-- how health care is Free in Europe. When I said "It isn't free -- someone has to pay for it" the conversation came to an abrupt halt.

#5  Dems need to try and solve problems without somebody else’s money. Since that is not in their DNA their only hope is smoke and mirrors. They should be nervous.
