Both candidates are trying to reach younger, tech savvy voters, especially female voters, and are pandering as quickly as they can. Hillary, channeling her inner Bernie Sanders, has promised to pay for public college tuition and abortions; and Trump this week released a big government maternity leave policy that is neither conservative nor financially sound, but it will likely increase his appeal among younger, female voters. And further pandering is likely.
But in the long run, and perhaps in this election, handouts will likely not sway the votes of younger Americans because a seismic shift is underway in how Americans, especially younger Americans, consume news, which will radically increase candidate accountability and undermine the traditional media’s role as protector-in-chief of Democratic politicians.
