I don't begrudge that, not one bit. They're still solid Dems who don't hate Hillary and if they'd been in red states would have voted for her without question. We're going to need these independent leaning Dems like those two and the OP. Furthermore, I believe Skinner knows these voters are here, has been asked about them, and is ok with them.
We're shooting ourselves in the foot by driving these voters away.
The OP is right, we need to reach them and keep them inside the tent with proposals, legislative efforts etc that attract and keep them with us rather than calling them "cowardly pieces of shit" and deliberately driving them off.
These aren't Trump voters. These are our voters
