ByNicholasRiccardi The Associated Press BOULDER, COLO. JohnMo- rales was interning for Bernie Sanders' campaign when the longshot Dem- ocratic candidate's hopes started to fade in the spring. That's when Liber- tarian Gary Johnson caught his interest. In many ways Johnson and Sanders are ideologi- cal opposites. The Vermont senator is an opponent of foreign trade deals and won over many younger voters in the primaries by calling for enormous government spending to guarantee uni- versal health care and free college tuition. Johnson, the former New Mexico gover- nor, supports smaller gov- ernment and the Trans-Pa- cific Partnership. But he shares Sand- ers' outsider, tell-it-like-it- is style, social liberalism and skepticism about mil- itary intervention overseas — attributes that have won over enough Sanders sup- porters to worry Democrats he could jeopardize Hillary Clinton's chances in Novem- ber. Morales, a 22-year-old community college student and Army Reservist, is one of those converts — he's now interning for Johnson. "He agrees with about 70 percent of what Bernie was saying," Morales said, add- ing that many of his friends who liked Sanders now are also drawn to Johnson. "I do believe that he's got bet- ter ideas than Hillary and Trump," Morales says. With roughly a month until Election Day, Clin- ton is still struggling to win over young voters who twice helped elect Barack Obama. "They're not brand loyal to either party — they're loyal to ideology and dis- ruption of the status quo," said Jill Hanauer, a Denver- based Democratic strategist whose firm has polled the age group known as millen- nials. She said many don't remember how protest votes for Green Party can- didate Ralph Nader helped elect George W. Bush in 2000. Clinton's challenge with younger voters is part of what's keeping the race close. A recent AP-GfK poll found Johnson pull- ing 14 percent of voters un- der 30, Green Party nomi- nee Jill Stein with 3 percent and "other" with 6 percent. Clinton had the backing of 48 percent of young vot- ers, compared with the 60 percent Obama notched in 2012. Trump had 27 percent in the poll. "Most of the supporters and volunteers who come in here are former Bernie peo- ple," said Woodrow John- ston, the Las Vegas-based deputy director of youth outreach for the candidate. "I think that for the most part people buy more into themes — or character — than issues." Clinton's campaign plans to have popular surrogates, including Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and Sand- ers make her case. Their arguments to young peo- ple won't directly target Johnson but instead will focus on the potential con- sequences of voting for a third-party candidate. "If you don't vote, that's a vote for Trump," Obama declared this week on the Steve Harvey radio show. "If you vote for a third- party candidate who's got no chance to win, that's a vote for Trump." Johnson's support among younger voters has roiled the campaign, especially in Colorado, though he's hurt himself with recent gaffes. This week he's being mocked for being unable, in a television appearance, to name a single world leader he admired. That awkward moment drew a compari- son by Johnson himself to his "Aleppo moment" this month, when he didn't rec- ognize the besieged city in Syria. Still, Clinton has strug- gled to win over support- ers of Sanders, who hand- ily won the Democratic pri- mary here. A CNN poll this week suggested third-party can- didates could make a differ- ence in Colorado: The poll found a nominal one-point lead for Trump when John- son and Stein were included in the survey, while Clinton had a two-point lead when they were not. Clinton's challenges are obvious in the liberal col- lege town of Boulder. Some young voters at the Univer- sity of Colorado are still pining for Sanders and un- willing to embrace her. Payton Smith, a 21-year- old business major, had backed Sanders even though he disagreed with some of the Vermont sen- ator's proposals. "It was something different," he said. Now he's shifted to Johnson. "I'd rather put my name behind someone who's not a liar or a thug." POLITICS Clinton struggling to win over the young voters she needs to win election SCOTTMORGAN—THEASSOCIATEDPRESSFILE Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson speaks during a campaign rally at Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa. By Jill Colvin The Associated Press NEW YORK Donald Trump says he took the moral high ground at the first presiden- tial debate by not mention- ing the infidelities of former President Bill Clinton. But he hinted at them, talked about them immediately af- terward and then sent his campaign's top backers out to do the same. "An impeachment for ly- ing," Trump said Thursday at a campaign rally in New Hampshire, referring to the effort to remove Bill Clinton from office for lying about his affair with Monica Le- winsky. "Remember that? Impeach." The Republican nomi- nee's decision to dredge up the former president's sex- ual history is a risky move in his campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton, whose own team isn't fazed by the attack line. Trump critics say it could backfire, elevating her in the eyes of female voters and motivat- ing her base. "The whole notion of try- ing to get Hillary Clinton to pay for Bill Clinton's in- fidelities is just strategically a bad choice," said Katie Packer, a longtime Repub- lican strategist opposed to Trump's candidacy. Women in particular, she said, see it as cruel. RepublicanpollsterFrank Luntz said Trump's refer- ence to Bill Clinton's indis- cretions was his low point Monday night among the group of voters with whom he watched the debate. "They were laugh- ing about it because they thought that was Trump at his worst," Luntz said, add- ing that undecided voters are especially turned off by personal attacks. The effort also risks drawing attention to the thrice-married Trump's own unflattering history with women. His first mar- riage ended following a well-publicized affair, and two of his top advisers, for- mer New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, have had their own well- documented infidelities. The three have had nine wives combined. Trump first touched on Bill Clinton's sexual past the weekend before the de- bate, threatening to seat Gennifer Flowers in the front row. She has said she and Clinton had an affair and he has admitted to one sexual encounter. She didn't appear. Trump did not di- rectly mention Bill Clin- ton's affairs on stage with the Democratic nominee, but he did refer to them af- terward. "You want to know the truth? I was going to say something extremely rough to Hillary, to her family, and I said to myself: I can't do it. I just can't do it," he said. "I'm very happy I didn't mention Bill's indiscre- tions because that's out of respect," he told The Associ- ated Press, adding that he'd held his tongue because the Clintons' daughter, Chelsea, was in the audience. That restraint didn't last. In talking points later distributed by the cam- paign and obtained by AP, Trump supporters were ad- vised that "Mr. Trump has never treated women the way Hillary Clinton and her husband did when they ac- tively worked to destroy Bill Clinton's accusers." The document men- tions Flowers, former White HouseinternMonicaLewin- sky and Paula Jones, a for- mer Arkansas state worker who sued Clinton for sex- ual harassment. The former president eventually agreed to an $850,000 settlement with Jones, but acknowl- edged no wrongdoing. Trump supporters are advised to say they are not "blaming Hillary for Bill's infidelities," but rather are pointing out that she has "been an active participant in trying to destroy the women who has (sic) come forward with a claim." His backers got the mes- sage. Giuliani said that Bill Clinton "disgraced this country with what he did in the Oval Office." As for Hillary Clinton, he said, "After being married to Bill Clinton for 20 years, if you didn't know the mo- ment Monica Lewinsky said that Bill Clinton violated her that she was telling the truth, then you're too stu- pid to be president." That was in an interview posted by a reporter from the news website Elite Daily. While Hillary Clinton's aides aren't thrilled about having her marriage back in the spotlight, they argue Trump's new focus prevents him from making an affir- mative case for his candi- dacy and only underscores the concerns some voters have with his temperament. "She is steady. She is un- flappable and so whether he'd done it at the debate or does it at the next debate it's not going to throw her off her game," said Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon. 2016 CAMPAIGN Dismissing risks, Trump goes all-in on Bill Clinton's past Tehama Country RealEstate This Week to place your ad call (530) 737-5056 or snoble@redbluffdailynews.com 741 Main St., Suite #2 Red Bluff, CA 96080 Lee McLeod BrokerAssociate BRE License # 01174300 (530) 200-6291 Buildingview1acrelot located west of Red Bluff. $27,500 Affordable Mineral Cabin also makes a nice year round home. 3 bedroom 1.5 baths on level lot with adjacent lot also for sale. $117,000 WESTERN REAL ESTATE MINCH PROPERTY MANAGEMENT 760MainSt.•530-527-5514 Commercial Properties For Sale: • 212 thru 238 S.
