Clinton camp on leaked audio: She's fighting for millennials
The Hill ^ | 10/1/2016 | Nikita Vladimirov

Hillary Clinton's campaign on Saturday responded to a leaked recording of her commenting on Bernie Sanders supporters during the primary, saying she was "inspired" by young voters who backed the Vermont senator.

"As Hillary Clinton said in those remarks, she wants young people to be idealistic and set big goals. She is fighting for exactly what millennial generation cares most about — a fairer more equal, just world. She's working to create new pathways to jobs and career opportunities, to build more inclusivity and community, and to ensure everyone gets a fair shot," the statement read.

Clinton's campaign called young voters "the most diverse, open-minded generation in history" who want to be heard, and touted her and Sanders's college plan.

"She's inspired by the optimism and the drive of this generation and Sanders supporters across the country — and they've helped her craft and promote the most progressive platform in Democratic party history," the statement said.

Audio from a February fundraiser leaked Friday showed the now-Democratic nominee giving her take on voters to the left and right of her. She suggested that Sanders supporters were overly idealistic but called for understanding of their disillusionment with their future prospects.

"Some are new to politics completely. They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’ basement," she said. "They feel they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don’t see much of a future."

Clinton's Republican rivals have seized on her comments. Donald Trump plans to hit her for the "basement dwellers" remark at a Saturday night speech.

Trump needs to hold a big rally in Seattle...

Washington State voted heavily at 72% for Bernie. Seeing almost no enthusiasm for Clinton or Obama here.

“Must be FREE To become whatever
GOD intends he should become”

So, no free will?

Funny how the crap she spews during a campaign “shouldn’t all be taken seriously”, yet something Trump said, as a citizen, decades ago, should serve as solid proof .....

Really .. just because GOD has a plan for your life, GOD ALSO GAVE MAN FREE WILL .. which means you can choose to screw up your whole life if you want to ..... AND GOD WILL STILL LOVE YOU AND TRY TO HELP YOU.

Too bad you don’t know enough about the Bible to spout off.

Better luck next time.

BS, God has no PLAN for anyones life. If he did then the plan would be fulfilled because after all, GENIUS, we are talking about GOD!!

My point was we all have free will, and I am correct.

Oh yes, it’s easy to understand; You’ve never given your heart to Christ.

When you do, everything you think you know will change.

If you are suggesting that I am a non-believer, you could not be more wrong.

If GOD didn’t have plans for you, then why would he write in Jeremiah 29:11:

“For I know the thoughts and plans I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for your welfare and your peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome” [your future].

Amen

God may have plans for all of us in the same way that a parent has plans for his children. However that does not mean that we do not have free will in the same way that our children have free will.

Of course, that’s what I was trying to tell you; but you insisted that GOD did not have any PLANS for you .. and the Bible clearly says that HE does, and always has.

It’s up to you (with your free will) to find out what the plans are; and how GOD wants you to fulfill them. It’s not a bad thing.

You have misunderstood me. I do not belive I ever said God had no plans for me or anyone else. I was speakin out against any idea of our behavior being preordained.

YOU SAID: “BS, God has no PLAN for anyone’s life. If he did then the plan would be fulfilled because after all, GENIUS, we are talking about GOD!!”

and then YOU SAID: “I do not belive(sic) I ever said God had no plans for me or anyone else.”

Well, good luck following GOD’s plan for your life.

Good bye
