Both CBS This Morning and NBC’s Today on Thursday devoted lengthy segments to fretting over Hillary Clinton’s failure to gain support among young female voters. Hosts on the two network morning shows wrung their hands while discussing how Clinton was “trounced” in New Hampshire by Bernie Sanders due to her “surprising struggle” to win over women.
CBS turned to Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Joanna Coles to explain the Democratic candidate’s difficulty, with co-host Norah O’Donnell wondering: “New Hampshire, there’s no doubt she got trounced by Bernie Sanders among all demographic groups, including women. What happened?” Coles argued: “...voters are looking for something new....there is a huge mistrust of American institutions....And, of course, Hillary Clinton is seen as part of that establishment....she’s actually running from a much more moderate place, promising more of the same.”
