At Hillary Clinton’s Iowa campaign offices, Bernie Sanders’s ‘excitement’ dig is a rallying cry

At Hillary Clinton's campaign offices all across Iowa, staffers are using rival Bernie Sanders's own words as new motivation in the four days left until the caucuses.

This week, in an interview with The Washington Post, Sanders claimed that the Clinton campaign was incapable of generating enthusiasm in the same way that his campaign has — especially among the young and the disaffected.

“What this campaign is about, and I’m seeing it every day, is an excitement and energy that does not exist and will not exist in the Clinton campaign,” Sanders told The Post's John Wagner.

The comment has particularly galled the Clinton campaign, which believes that reports of an enthusiasm gap between the campaigns are greatly exaggerated.

And so, at campaign offices from Waukee to Ames, Sanders's quote now adorns whiteboards and poster boards, put there by Clinton staffers and volunteers hoping to prove him wrong.


Check out the link to see pictures of Sander's quote all across Hillary Clinton's field offices. It has become bulletin board material fot Hillary Clinton supporters.

Gotta love the last ditch effort built out of desperation.

Go Bernie!

Hillary and gang does not seem to be laughing anymore.

admitting that there is no excitement for Hillary. Now if they can just take the next step and see this will jump to the GE if they manage to get her nominated.
