I can agree with getting him out asap but realistically he may be physically gone out the office but I have a feeling his spirit and thoughts will be continued by ...........................? As long as you can have people vote for freebies from the gov't with the society we live in today it's gonna be hard to get dems out of office.

They're ready for her. They're excited about her. They're planning their next career moves with her campaign in mind.
Young Democrats just have one question: If Hillary Clinton runs for president, will she be ready to make room for them?
In interviews with nearly 20 current and former Democratic activists and operatives younger than 30, there was overwhelming, palpable enthusiasm about the prospect of a second Clinton candidacy and the chance to help elect the first woman president. Yet equally apparent was a sense of doubt and trepidation about piercing the foreboding, multilayered organization known as Clinton Inc. to land a decent campaign job.

Many pointed to Clinton's existing network comprising decades worth of political relationships; surely, some surmised, those associates would get preferential treatment. They mentioned Clinton's reputation for historically maintaining a tightknit circle of advisers. And they noted that in the spring of 2014, a campaign, albeit one without an actual candidate, is already well under way on the Democratic side — with two prominent super PACs, Ready for Hillary and Priorities USA, primed for a Clinton run.
Neil Makhija, a Harvard Law School student who has worked for several politicians and is active with Ready for Hillary, said he's confident that a future Clinton campaign would seek out the best talent. But he's cognizant of how the world works.
"It can also help to know someone from a previous campaign," said Makhija, 27. "And with Clinton, everyone knows someone from a previous campaign."
In 2008, Clinton failed to harness the energy of young Democratic activists, who instead played a central role in propelling President Barack Obama to the White House. Whether she could effectively bottle their enthusiasm in 2016 — when she would be nearly 70 years old — remains an open question, and would be one of her central challenges.
For the generation of young people who came to Washington on the Barack Obama wave, the lore remains vivid: fresh-faced staffers who started off carrying bags or stuffing envelopes and ended up in the West Wing, in some cases becoming D.C. celebrities in their own right. Obama's lower profile at the outset of 2008 and shorter career in politics combined to create a meritocracy of sorts, in which young, energetic and in some cases inexperienced staffers were given the space and opportunity to shine.

Several of the Democrats interviewed for the story said it's hard to envision the same thing happening with Clinton.
"Hillary has a lot of establishment coming with her, I'd imagine," said Ilyssa Meyer, 22, whose excitement for Clinton bubbles over. "I know she's had a much longer career than Obama [had by 2008]. She brings a lot of experienced candidates, [people from] the Clinton Foundation, all of these people. I wouldn't vie for a policy position, because she has advisers cultivated who could do a better job than me. I don't think that it's a bad thing."
Meyer is planning to go to graduate school instead of trying to get onto a Clinton 2016 race. One day she hopes to end up in the White House.
For those who do want in, navigating the elaborate Clinton complex — and figuring out where they might fit — is an intimidating task, said one Democratic consultant in his late 20s who would like to work for the "next Democratic president of the United States."
"Hillaryland feels like, it's like a 40-year corporation based on political networks that have never had a management consultant come in and reorganize it," said the source, whose firm has worked with Ready for Hillary. Like many people interviewed for this story, he requested anonymity in order to speak more freely in discussing future employment opportunities. "It's four decades of a team being built. For young people, it feels really daunting. I know a lot of young people from the Obama world who are like, 'How the the hell do I engage in this world?'"

Mitch Stewart, who played key roles on both Obama campaigns and now advises Ready for Hillary, pointed to positions tied to field work and technology as natural fits for young people looking to work the next presidential contest.
"The thing I know will be true in 2016, and I hope Secretary Clinton decides to run, is you're going to want smart, young, ambitious people to help run the campaign," he said. "It's so important to reach out and engage through social networking. The folks most conversant in that are young people."
He added: "Any campaign running in '16 is going to be very open and accommodating to young people. They really provide the fuel and energy for a sort of vibrant national effort. … I think the overwhelming majority of total staff hired will be young people right out of college, [including] folks taking a semester off."
A spokesman for Clinton did not respond to a request for comment.
Clinton has said she won't make a decision about running until sometime later this year. But if she does, the former secretary of state, senator and first lady would enter the race with a vast network of political contacts — people who have worked for her or her husband dating as far back as their days in Arkansas — who might look to be involved in her campaign.
There is typically plenty of room for young volunteers to work in the field, and, increasingly, there is a need for them in technology roles. But from very young people just hoping for full-time employment on such a campaign, to older operatives hoping for meatier jobs, questions persist about the opportunities that would exist on what already looks like a crowded bus.
