Is Clinton attacking the left to appeal to the right for the general election?

[Skwmom]

Maybe since they think we have no where to go by attacking the left they think it will only increase her chances in the general election?

[Scuba]

1. Yeah, 'cause so many Republicans just wish they had a reason to vote for a Clinton.

[Skwmom]

2. The Clinton supporters have claimed Republican women will vote for her.

After her baggage gets exposed to the light of day in the general election, personally I do not see that happening.

10. Well, she may not get Republicans to vote for her, but she'll sure bring them out to vote.

3. Just when the GOP was on the ropes ...

she Boos the fans.

[HooptieWagon]

4. She's an authoritarian conservative...

...that thinks condescension and bullying will get us back in line. She thinks wrong.

[Skwmom]

11. I think they view the left as weak idealists that can be bullied into submission.

5. She'll do whatever it takes

[GreatGazoo]

6. No she is attacking because she is losing to Sanders, repeatedly.

[CanadaexPat]

7. Just mindlessly flailing about, I would think. She'll be attacking from the left, too, I'm sure.

[pdsimdars]

8. In other words, she is reaching out to her true base.

9. she hopes to scrape together enough wins 4-26--or even to win the waiting game in NY--

to keep the supers on her side even if she loses the CA machine

but the thing is, there's the sundowning, there's scandal after scandal increasingly covered by a media that likes to kick someone on their way down, there's the constant forced errors brought on by her "I fought hard all my life, I earned this" mentality and her RW instincts

the campaign was supposed to have been over long ago, Sanders's trendline not supposed to be still climbing, and already three weeks after Super Tuesday Too they effort of going into overtime is very visible in the campaign and the campaigner: Sanders barely expected to come this far and prepared for a campaign that lasted until August '16, while Clinton expected to have everything handed to her rather than a repeat of 08's massive trauma

12. I think she views progressives and tea party people with about the same contempt

She doesn't understand anybody out of the mainstream of either party. A perfect candidate to run for an electorate that is fed up with the establishment.

[Lizzie Poppet]

13. She doesn't need the left in the remaining closed primaries.

She's counting on party loyalists and black voters to help her squeak into the nomination. She can perform her expected lurch to the right early because of this. The left goes under the bus.
