Be less Republican-like behind the scenes (advisors, surrogates). And they would not need to be because Donald Trump can’t sell his distraction of a so-called campaign nationally even with his Republican Party—let alone all of the participating electorate.

Hillary Clinton is not dumb. She has figured out a good amount of what the 17–29 voters are after—so what her weaknesses have been with them, and Bernie Sanders’s strengths with that voting-age group (the base of the party—the only one carried in 2004 by John Kerry)…taking Sanders’s platform to become hers (for such domestic policies)—and for the national platform for the Democratic Party—will be the correct way to go.

Anyone who has been for Hillary and says that Bernie has been ruinous to the party (because he has carried in so many states the 17–29 primary voters 4-to-1) is looking at that in the wrong way. Hillary and her camp should thank Bernie and his camp. Hillary, to win this nomination, needed an awakening with the No. 1 reliable voting-age group commonly voting for this party in elections won and lost. And she is now awake.
