Hillary Clinton's Strategy: Bill's old strategy?
From a Salon Article linked below:
It’s an important read, in the wake of a New York Times piece that worried Clinton was abandoning her husband’s pitch to working class whites and following Barack Obama’s “far narrower path to the presidency.” (I debunked the ludicrous notion of that path being “narrower” here.)
It certainly looks like Hillary Clinton’s campaign has decided that it’s smarter to focus on consolidating the Obama coalition than try to reassemble the Bill Clinton coalition of minorities plus downscale whites. President Clinton’s moves on crime and welfare reform, combined with his infamous “Sister Souljah” moment, were meant to inform white working class voters, including in the South, that he’d heard their concerns, and his party wasn’t captive to minorities.
Hmm. with her BLM "confrontation" hasn't Hillary already had her "Sister Souljah" moment,,, And all the better if they can paint Bernie as the defender of ONLY minorities because where are those working class whites to go....
Bernie should just be Bernie. A man that has stood up for the rights of the working class and for the rights of all people (whatever their race, gender, or sexual orientation).
