Would you have done the "Hillary" cheer?

In My Humble Opinion
1

THIS is an interesting video. Its a Democratic campaign event and a Clinton campaign worker is trying to fire up the crowd for Hillary.

Watch as she starts a chant “When I say Hillary you say FIRE, Hillary,” then an awkward silence as most of the audience ignores her (although some do join in).

So I’d like to ask, if you had been in that audience would you have been doing the “Hillary cheer”?

Personally I thought it was very cheesy and their isnt a politician around where I would have done such hero worship. The audience was probably half or more Sanders people anyways so it probably wasnt the best place for such a cheer.

I don’t watch random youtube videos, but I’ve got to confess to some bewilderment as to how “fire Hillary” is a good hero worship cheer.

In general, I don’t participate in that sort of thing. Except to shout “O” during the national anthem at an Orioles game.

Yeah, I thought “fire” to be odd also. Why not say “awesome” or something. She did also say “champion”.

But still its all hero worship to me which I dont do.

4

Yeah, that kind of rah rah stuff is just silly to me. I get the purpose, but I’m not going to vote based on excitement, nor is it necessary for me to be motivated to go out and vote.

This is more a poll about an event than a discussion of the election.

Off to IMHO.

I took a look. There’s a reason most people aren’t joining into the call and response.

The person on the sidelines may be saying “Fire” (Fire Hillary) or “Liar” (Hillary Liar) but it doesn’t really matter. They are not a Clinton campaign worker trying to get the crowd all excited.

Consider the source: Alex Jones.

It’s also not clear that it’s even a campaign event.

Exactly. i can’t tell if the crowd is saying “peas and carrots” or “When did our kids HS Spring Concert get so… Political?”

8

I was saying boo-urns.

I am anti-chanting. I hate the “Stephen, Stephen” of Colbert, the stuff they do at political ralies, and even “let’s go Mariners!” No way am I going to yell anything for Hillary, or even against Trump.

It wasn’t “Fire Hillary”. It was “Heil Hillary”.

Glad to be of service.

I am not a fan of cheering and would not participate, but would not be put off either as long as it isn’t a variety of that hackneyed “hey hey, ho ho, cliched chants have got to go” chant.

I might give her a Bronx cheer. That’s about it, though.

Would you have woofed had you been part of Arsenio Hall’s dog pound?

The Hillary campaign needs to give up trying to convince people that she’s a really hip, totally with-it, and completely tuned in to young people. They should embrace her as an elderly policy wonk and try to play up the “I’m the adult in the room” persona, rather than running away from it.
