"Support Building" Technique for the Dying and the Too-Young-To-Vote

From Hillary's speech last night:

And I will be back. As we move on now to the next contests, in Kentucky and Oregon, in Puerto Rico, in Montana and South Dakota, tonight I'm thinking about Florence Steen from South Dakota, eighty-eight years old and in failing health when she asked that her daughter bring an absentee ballot to her hospice bedside. Florence was born before women had the right to vote, and she was determined to exercise that right, to cast a ballot for her candidate who just happened to be a woman running for president. Florence passed on a few days ago, but I am eternally grateful to her and her family for making this such an important and incredible milestone in her life that means so much to me. I’m also thinking of Dalton Hatfield, an 11-year-old boy from Kentucky, who sold his bike and sold his video games to raise money to support my campaign.

That Hatfield kid seems to have "political operative" written all over his future. I do kinda wonder what kind of reception he'll be getting at school for selling his bike and games to give money to a failing political candidate.

I hate when they do voter anecdotes. Did Reagan start that shtick? Worst part of a pretty good speech.

I didn't see it as a very good speech, myself, but these may be the worst voter anecdotes ever.
