She also has a problem in straddling the wide gulf between the radical left who are now her party’s base and far more centrist or right leaning voters like the Reagan Democrats. Clearly she has not done this nor likely could anyone given how far left her party has turned.

One wonders how many of the "Reagan Democrats" are _left_ any more, a generation later.

I would guess that after the Republican sweep of 1994, a good portion of them decided to cross the line and call themselves Republicans, and those that did not drifted back to their original Democratic ideology.

The problem _this_ election will be "Hillary's secret women". That is to say, independent and, YES, _Republican_ women who would ordinarily vote for the Republican candidate but THIS TIME will vote for Hillary, because she's a woman and it's finally a woman's time to win.

They may not tell you that, but close the voting booth curtain, and....?

I predict Hillary will pick up 8-15% of the votes of "registered Republican" women.

Old rules ain't gonna apply in this election. It's different this time. Not sure how to fight that.

Those women have never voted for a Republican in any election. They're registered Republican because their daddies and hubbies fill out their voter registration cards for them. They toddle down to the polls, pull the curtain, and push the buttons for the democrats to show their "independence."

We never had their vote to begin with, so nothing is lost there.
