If Hillary Clinton ever hopes to unite the Democratic Party, she may want her husband to lay off constantly antagonizing her opponent’s most motivated supporters.
During a speech in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania today, Bill Clinton said, “if all the young people who claimed to be disillusioned now had voted in 2010, we wouldn’t had loss the Congress and probably have our income back,” the Raging Chicken Press reports.
Clinton also attempted to deliver a reality check on Bernie Sanders’ proposal for free college tuition for all.
The former president asked the crowd, “what do you think the odds are that this legislature in Pennsylvania would pay for one-third of free tuition for everyone.” The news site reports there were a few “chuckles” in the audience.
Meanwhile, NPR affiliate WITF reports “some in the crowd filtered out after only a few minutes” into Clinton’s “meandering” 35-minute address.
WITF adds Clinton’s voice was “raspy at times.”
Clinton also campaigned at a senior center, where a woman celebrating her 94th birthday seemed utterly unmoved by the former president’s appearance.
Clinton then jumped up to embrace a woman who is turning 104 years old.
