Talking Points: The Road Ahead For Hillary Clinton
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- One of the big questions at this week's Democratic convention is whether Hillary Clinton will be able to harness the support and enthusiasm of Bernie Sanders supporters.
It's a question especially relevant for the Minnesota delegation, where a majority of delegates are pledged to Sanders.
Currently, polls show that more than 60 percent of voters -- and even as many as 30 percent of Democrats -- find Clinton untrustworthy.
The Clinton campaign is hoping that naming Sen. Tim Kaine as her running mate will fire up the Democratic base.
Ellen Goldberg Luger, a Minnesota delegate who has known Clinton for more than 20 years, hopes the convention will showcase the former Secretary of State's personal side.
"She is such a warm, funny, engaging person, and I think she is beginning to come across that way to voters and the general public," said Goldberg Luger, who was a guest on WCCO Sunday Morning.
Sanders is speaking at the convention on Monday. This won't be a Ted Cruz moment, as Sanders has already endorsed Clinton.
However, more than a few Clinton backers have called that endorsement lukewarm.
Now leaked emails suggest that top Democratic officials worked for months to try and stall the Sanders campaign, which is why Sanders' speech will get almost as much scrutiny as Clinton's on Thursday.
