Classic Jack from June 2 on How Hillary Could Have Overcome Her Man Problems

In a recent survey of 1500 collegeeducated young people ages 18 to 26 young men indicated that they intend to vote almost exclusively for the candidate who makes the best case for job creation and educational opportunities While on opposite sides of the political spectrum Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have shared this crucial campaign pillar With sinking favorability ratings among men can Hillary Clinton effectively tap into this agenda and convince young men that she can lead an economic revolution that will create new and better jobsTo capture these male voters Clinton must do more than issue the standard political rhetoric Many male voters simply donamp8217t trust her to act on their behalf The more Clinton tries to compete manoamano on the political stage with Trump and Sanders the more she tends to reinforce the negative responses of many voters and the less likely she will be able to capture those voters in the general election Itamp8217s time for her to call Trumpamp8217s presidential bluff stop playing into his hand and completely reinvent how the political game is playedSo here are ten nontraditional strategies focused on job creation and educational loan relief that Clinton can employ to win the presidency1 Reframe the campaign by shifting the Clinton strategy from talk to action Demonstrate the potential of her future presidency through the immediate implementation of authentic relevant and meaningful job creation initiatives career training programs and educational loan relief funding2 Fund local job training fairs scheduled throughout the country with a particular focus on swing states Shift a portion of funding intended for advertising which has proven to be remarkably ineffective to underwrite this initiative These job fairs can be quickly planned and implemented to preempt competitive political responses3 Create immediate job opportunities by using Clintonamp8217s connections to garner the support of corporate leaders Introduce Americaamp8217s Job Fair creating hundreds of local job fairs around the country Invest campaign funds to underwrite and implement these job fairs where interviewers can match young unemployed Americans with appropriate local opportunities4 Introduce Americaamp8217s Corporate Job Challenge and urge local companies to create new jobs with a focus on equal hiring of men and women This message can be complemented by an acknowledgement that women are capturing twothirds of new jobs being created in America today and become a tacit call to action in support of young men5 Encourage the involvement of local and statewide Democratic candidates and suggest that they focus their campaign message on and spend time at these job fairs speaking with Americans conducting job interviews and sitting in on training sessions6 Introduce and underwrite job training seminars and programs at Clinton campaign offices throughout the country where young people will have the opportunity to meet with job placement advisors voluntary and paid and interact with active Clinton supporters and local candidates while gaining valuable career counseling and job training Focus programs on training men for the traditionally femaledominated HEAL careers healthcare education administrative and literacyamp8202amp8212amp8202some of the fastest growing industries in America Introduce radio advertising that promotes positive perceptions of these industries as careers for men with the tagline amp8220Iamp8217m Hillary Clinton and I support job creation better pay and funded college educationamp82217 Schedule events targeting young male supporters where Clinton can focus her comments specifically on jobs and how her presidency will positively impact men and foster healthy families and relationships Clinton has spoken to hundreds if not thousands of womenamp8217s groups and organizations While continuing her traditional campaign rallies and events the Clinton campaign should actively demonstrate to the press that she too has an active following of men8 Introduce the Clinton Jobs and Education Manifesto with specific plans for creating job opportunities educational tax incentives educational loan relief and twoparent household tax benefits9 Establish a college loan relief fund for qualified financially burdened young men and women Create a Hillary Clinton
