Younger women reject Hillary (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/258911-clinton-faces-challenge-in-winning-over-young-women).
The younger generations are in general rejecting the old style politics and leadership in favor of better solutions to their issues.
Laura Shadle likes Hillary Clinton. But the 23-year-old Penn State senior is more inspired by Bernie Sanders.
Shadle, who is volunteering for the Sanders campaign in Pennsylvania, says it’s more “progressive” to go with the candidate that speaks to her, not the candidate who could make history by becoming the nation’s first woman president.
She also strongly believes that other millennial women feel the same way.
“We’re not necessarily going to vote for someone just because they’re a woman,” she said in an interview. “A lot of us are just trying to look at the candidate.”
Shadle represents a potential problem for the Clinton campaign amid weeks of favorable headlines: The Democratic front-runner has a weakness with millennials.
