Hillary’s Plan to Win Big Everywhere - HRC group

The presumptive Democratic nominee is laying down infrastructure across the country, warding off opponents and potentially creating a nightmare for the GOP.

Hillary Clinton got beat last time because she wanted to win big in Democratic strongholds, and she got outflanked. Now she’s pursuing a 50-state strategy, starting with the primaries. She wants to compete everywhere and expand the map—an audacious play, particularly for a candidate so synonymous with insularity and caution.

Unlike the last time around, Clinton lacks any serious competition for the Democratic nomination. But despite the primaries looking like a cakewalk for her, Team Clinton isn't taking any chances, and is looking to lay down campaign infrastructure that would ward off Democratic opponents and then benefit her in the general election.

Her campaign sent out a press release last week touting headlines across the country, including in Republican strongholds: “Hillary Clinton launches Wyoming campaign presence;” “First presidential candidate with a presence in Utah—Hillary Clinton,” and “Hillary Clinton dispatching a full-time organizer to Texas.”

Paid staffers are on the ground in all 50 states and the territories, but they won’t be there long, says a Clinton aide. “What we’re doing is building a volunteer-driven organization in those 50 states and that means we’re being very efficient with the dollars.” Democrats have learned that paid staff are essential to jump-start any volunteer effort. But the Clinton staffers won’t stay; they’ll be gone by the end of May, replaced if all goes well with trained and enthusiastic volunteers.

2. The 50 state strategy is a great idea

It helps in the primary process and then will pay off in future elections by forcing the GOP to work harder

4. As her campaign rolls out and stragedies are revealed, it makes me think she is reallly

ready for the job as president. She is covering all bases and I think as time rolls on she will reveal more of her agenda. I am ready for Hillary. Thanks for your post.

7. Good to hear she and her team have learned from 2008. I'm glad we got

President Obama but now I'm thinking it actually may be time for Hillary Clinton to be President.

8. Hillary's going to take Texas in the primary

without ever breaking a sweat. (Bernie? Who?). There's a really good chance shel'll turn the state blue in the general. She might not take DFW or parts of the Panhandle but she'd pull in all of the Border counties, everything from Brownsville to Austin and north through the hill country, the Gulf Coast, all the metropolitan areas except DFW, almost all the soon-to-be majority minority demographics.

We just need to get our boots on the ground and the facts out.
