Hillary Clinton surrogate Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II (D., Mo.) told MSNBC’s Kate Snow on Thursday that a lack of enthusiasm among millennial voters is an issue for the Clinton campaign.

“I will concede that there is a lack of excitement at the level that we need to defeat Donald Trump among many of the millennials,” Cleaver said.

Snow started off by asking about a New York Times article that said that young African American voters are skeptical about Hillary Clinton. The story said, in part:

Yet with just over two months until Election Day, many Democrats are expressing alarm at the lack of enthusiasm, and in some cases outright resistance, some black millennials feel toward Mrs. Clinton.

Their skepticism is rooted in a deep discomfort with the political establishment that they believe the 68-year-old former first lady and secretary of state represents. They share a lingering mistrust of Mrs. Clinton and her husband over criminal justice issues. They are demanding more from politicians as part of a new, confrontational wave of black activism that has arisen in response to police killings of unarmed African-Americans.

It’s probably pretty hard to be enthusiatic about voting for a congenital liar and criminal that intends to give your country to fraudulently documented foreigners.

Just look at her rallies....Little tiny groups....rather meaningless

There's no appeal to the nation at large....

It's all about the money....And when it's over...she's going to have a big kitty to donate to her favorite charity.

Hmmmm....now which one would that be??
