There's been a lot of talk about the Clinton strategy to try to wedge off GOP voters by saying that Trump represents a fringe position not in line with American (read:GOP) values rather than trying to connect the insane racist alt-right to the whole party. The first one is certainly safer, if a lot less fun.

I'm not saying that ultimately she isn't leaning in that direction, but it's ridiculous when coupled with this appeal to "workhorse not show horse" legislative concreteness, when she isn't even willing to offer an opinion on specific, important policy issues in a townhall where she was ostensibly supposed to address those concerns. Like, everything she's offering in that transcript is basically "trust me, I'm on your side." That's as much the pitch of a shrewd politician as a con artist.

"I feel your pain" "feel-good" politics is actually kind of a bad thing. And it's just bizarre to have her on the one hand admonishing BLM activists for failing to offer concrete plans, while as an individual running for President dissembling to try and give as much of a non-answer as possible.

During the '08 primaries and campaign, everyone was reading all these grandiose motives and ideas into Obama's campaign. Obama's campaign was built on vagaries designed to appeal to a broad audience and let them project what they wanted. "Hope" and all that. Then he got into office and he governed as a pretty mediocre centrist that lost basic campaign promises like the public option.

It's really hard, probably naive, to take "trust me" as an answer from someone with a mixed record. The burden is on Clinton to assert that she's made shifts of policy from those she previously held. That's not an unreasonable expectation in a townhall specifically designed for exploring these issues, for which she presumably prepared.

I don't necessarily disagree with any of this. Another important part of what she said is asking BLM to find places where it could agree or work with people it doesn't necessarily love. They don't seem to particularly like any white politician, least of all Clinton. But if they do manage to centralize, organize, and become a stronger, driving movement for change, they can work with her to shape policy. Some citizens allied with a movement asked Hillary a question off script and got an off script answer. I'm not saying they have to be satisfied with the answer. I'm saying I'm surprised she said as much as she did. BLM should keep lobbying and fighting for what they need to happen, but that also means engaging with policy makers formally, not just protests and disruptions (those are good, mind you, when done well).

In addition to this, I'm wondering what kind of effect the Clinton campaign hammering this point home is going to have on Republican efforts to save face post-Trump. I've been expecting this to be the party line post-Trump, but now that the hated Hillary is saying it, it sort of puts the GOP leadership in an awkward position where they have to either say Trumpist values are their own (which I expect to be massively unpopular) or agree with something Hillary says.

They're just going to be deathly silent on the subject so no matter what happens they have some modicum of influence. And in their silence they hope to sink trump

Well its still a problem for the right either way because the Alt is their lifeline. Its The Fruit of the Tea Bagger Tree come to bear a whole new generation of open believers in the messaging behind their dog whistles, only they don't hide what they really mean. If they GOP tries to disavow them, especially under Hilldog's claims, they're severing ties with them by showing the GOP really is the big government establishment they hate. America has a goldfish's memory when it comes to actions and facts, but they sure as poo poo can hold a grudge from feelings. And if Hillary manages to be the reason why the GOP turns on the Alt, well they were already screaming RINO and their weird sexual fantasies about them before. It could be an even bigger schism if the establishment actually heeds the words of a democrat, let along Mrs. Clinton herself.

Oh I agree this isn't something that the GOP is just going to shake off come November, I think they are going to go into the wilderness for a time while the various factions in their party rip and tear at each other.

But there are a lot of Democrats who see this Trump poo poo as the perfect cudgel to beat the GOP with and discredit and destroy them forever and are frustrated that HRC is reaching out to centrist Republicans instead of going "See, told you you're a racist!"

Well we have to remember that at this point the "rigged" narrative is going to at least be used if not stick. The Important thing is if you want this to be used as a weapon, you have to make it feel like it wasn't Hilldog that rigged the election, but the GOP establishment betrayed their own party. This soft touch is what allows the estab to carry out that betrayal by playing to their sense of greater patriotism and obvious reluctance in Trump. That's what the Alt will carry into their hearts and will let them scream louder at their own leaders than at Clinton.
