We’ve been trying to rally disaffected Democratic voters, mostly under educated white men and women, with little success. They’re in bunker mode already. ‘Give me Hillary, or give me death’ seems to be the rallying cry among some Democratic voters in California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
That’s to be expected. They backed a loser and it will take time to heal and bring voters together against a common opponent. We’re prepared for that. We’ll pick up plenty of Hillary’s voters and lose a few. It’s politics.
What we are not prepared for is buyer’s remorse. All those activist, educated Democrats and Republicans who voted for me in caucuses and primary elections now have second thoughts.
Our polling says that many of these voters don’t think I can defeat John McCain in November and they don’t know what to do with their votes. The surveys show that many of my supporters view McCain as a party maverick, and independent who can reach out across the aisle and get things done.
Am I the only one to notice that John McCain has the arm reach of a midget?
