Appearing on a program well-suited to youth-pandering, Hillary Clinton instead devoted the bulk of her time on “The Daily Show” Wednesday to speaking about her experiences at the State Department.
In an extended interview that was virtually uninterrupted by applause or crowd noise of any kind, Clinton only spent a few token words on the plight of Millennials in the current economy, and offered no ideas or solutions to their circumstances.
“I’m worried that other people, and particularly younger people, are not gonna have the same opportunities we did,” she offered about her and Bill Clinton’s upbringing, in a further clarification of her “dead broke” comments. “We believed that we could pretty much make our way up the ladder. And now I think a lot of particularly young people don’t believe that anymore. And that bothers me a lot.”
So bothersome that Clinton provided this as her approach to address the problem:
“I think we have to pay attention to what we’re going to do.”
Clinton also said it was “a terrible development” that millions of Americans between 16 and 24 are both out of school and out of work.
Thus concluded her remarks on the Millennial demographic that somehow gave her a favorable/unfavorable rating of 52 to 28 percent in a recent Quinnipiac poll — a poll which also found that Paul Ryan is currently the only Republican challenger even close to pushing Clinton among voters aged 18 to 29.
Clinton spent the rest of her interview time — lasting more than 25 minutes, both television and web-only footage included — giving her view of foreign policy crises, guffawing, and expressing amazement at “the cottage industry” of Hillary-hating that her very existence has produced.
Part one of her “Daily Show” appearance, which includes her remarks on youth, is below.
