Leaked Emails Show Clinton Campaign Struggling to Address Sanders's Popularity
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The turmoil within the Republican Party comes as another round of newly
leaked emails show how Hillary Clinton's campaign struggled to deal with
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders's popularity during the primary season.
The emails, released by Wiki Leaks, appear to come from the account of
Clinton campaign chairperson John Podesta. In one email, an adviser
wrote to Podesta, "Message needs to be more positive, upbeat, hopeful. …
Bernie is saying we can change the world. Her msg is 'No, we can't'
because …" The aide also recommended Clinton's campaign feature more
young people in her campaign ads. Another email also shows Clinton aide
Doug Band calling Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, a "spoiled brat." This is
the second batch of Clinton campaign emails released by Wiki Leaks in
the last four days.
