5. She Learned To Whip, Nae Nae, & Dab
I never understood what making appearances on entertainment talk shows has to do with politics, but everyone who runs for public office seems to think that it’s mandatory. As into pop culture as I am, it just doesn’t sway my opinion to see presidential candidates responding to pre-screened questions about the songs in their iTunes library. Hillary Clinton tried to be super cool and appeal to the millennial voters when she learned some modern dance moves with The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Hillary made her best attempt to whip, nae nae, and dab. It was nice to see her letting loose, but there is no way that benefitted her at all. Sometimes, not all media coverage is good media coverage. The whole segment was just kind of awkward and obviously forced. Maybe she should have done a dance that she was more comfortable with. It just seemed to be such an obvious play to get young voters, when most young voters aren’t going to fall for that anyway.
