Four Reasons Hillary Keeps Losing

"SNIP................


3. Working class whites

Clinton has no chance of winning a majority of working class white voters. They have voted heavily Republican for years, especially working class men . In the 2014 midterm elections, for example, working class whites voted for Republicans by a 30-point margin.

But Clinton needs to win some of them. In 2012 Barack Obama won the support of about 35 percent of working class whites, which was enough to help him win re-election.

One of the more surprising aspects of Clinton’s primary campaign has been her failure to focus on working class women. Trump’s 70 percent unfavorable rating with women, combined with Clinton’s newfound populism on economic issues, gives her a real chance to make inroads with at least some working-class voters.

But if she lets Trump position himself as the tribune of the working class, she’ll only dig a deeper hole for herself with blue-collar voters.

1. getting more votes than anyone else = losing. ok nt

2. In #BernieMath

[Trust Buster]

3. My thoughts exactly. 3 million more votes and 300 more delegates does not equal losing.

5. Hint: winning the Democratic primareis does not translate to winning a GE.

Hillary is not a strong GE candidate. She was a strong primary candidate.

[Trust Buster]

6. Pay attention. The OP is about the primaries.

[BillZBubb]

10. I said she WAS a strong primary candidate. She's not been so strong lately.

She's going to limp into the GE and all her baggage is going to weigh her and the party down.

4. Bernie gets 100% of the delegates

from the state of denial.

[Trust Buster]

7. Now that should be "nominated" for a DUZY......LOL

8. #5. Hillary has pivoted toward the general with money, comments, and appearances. nt

[wiggs]

9. #6. As long at it appears Hillary will win the primary, people (like me) are freed

to vote for Bernie without the responsibility of thinking about winning the general.
