Woah! CNN reporter from Flint saying that Hillary Clinton didn't connect with voters!

Did anyone else hear this?

She said that Hillary put together a PPoint presentation, "that looked like a 9th grader put it together". Apparently, it was some response that Hillary put on Twitter, regarding her Flint plan. CNN reporter said it was totally off the mark.

She said Sanders really connected with the people of Flint and explained what he would do and talked
effectively about the problems in Flint. She said he really made a connection with the people of Flint.

She ended her statement by saying that Clinton did not.

WTH?

That goes contrary to everything Hillary led ME to believe about Flint.

It's almost like the areas in which she was around more--the more they liked Bernie!

I definitely predicted this one wrong.

I thought she'd be up by 25 points and I thought she resonated very well.

I am wrong.

Have no idea how bad things are on the ground for people. There are big cries for help to our party leadership- I wish they would take those cries seriously.

"This is working out quite well for them", she said that after they had LOST their homes and were living there ffs.

This is the detachment the rich have with the middle class and below, Democrat or otherwise.

The first being her paycheck; the second her mentor.

That how things like this go.

I'll vote for her if she gets the nod, but it is becoming increasingly apparent that it might not happen.

Too bad about all the hubris, which rarely pans out. And polls which ignore cell phones are useless.
