Over at The New Republic, Josh Patashnik talks to three Democratic strategists about how to bring Sen. Clintonโs negatives down. I thought Hank Scheinkopf identified the battlefield pretty well:
Whatever problems she has, the Republicans are in a much worse position. This election is going to be decided by moderate swing voters in the Midwest, a lot of white Catholics, people who are economically sensitive, and Republicans have lost those people already. Theyโre viewed much the same way the Democrats were at the height of their disarray in the 1980sโjust out of touch.
That segment of the population is the type of segment that right now has a somewhat negative view of Hillary but will come around to her in the end. Sheโs always been in the center of defense-related matters, which appeals to them. Democrats close the sale with those voters on the economy, health care, education.
