Clinton wooing a new group of voters: Republicans
- 8 years ago
Aiming to capitalize on the criticism pounding Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton has begun depicting support for her candidacy as a patriotic duty of voters.
She’s widening her message and appealing directly to Republicans to keep him out of the White House.
It’s a curveball from a Democratic presidential candidate who has some of the highest unpopularity ratings in history, but aides believe Trump’s controversial campaign and the chaos it’s caused within the Republican Party offers a unique opportunity.
In Ohio recently, Clinton urged Republicans “to pick country over party.”
Clinton always planned to speak to a broader audience during the general election campaign, but the current state of Trump’s campaign and his decision to stick with his provoking message caused her to intensify her focus across party lines.
