LAS VEGAS (AP) — Hoping to capitalize on the criticism battering Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton has begun portraying support for her candidacy as a patriotic duty of voters. She's broadening her message and appealing directly to Republicans to keep him out of the White House.
It's a twist for 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." She told several thousand at a union hall in Las Vegas on Thursday, "I want to be the president for all Americans. Democrats, Republicans independents. We're going to pull America together again."
Clinton had always planned to speak to a broader audience during the general election campaign, a standard move for presidential candidates after their party conventions. But the state of Trump's campaign and his decision to stick with his inflammatory primary message has prompted her to intensify her focus across party lines.
Democrats, including President Barack Obama, have begun arguing that Trump poses a unique danger to democracy. That's an argument they did not make against former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney or Arizona Sen. John McCain, the past two GOP presidential nominees.

Everyone, remember who your enemies are.
First, the GOP must die. Everything else comes after that.
The GOPe is already dead
They just don’t know it yet
If they’re stupid enough to re-elect Ryan and McCain, then maybe, yea.
I guess the DemocRATS are right. Republicans are “uneducated” and dumber than ****.
No true conservative would vote for a liberal or a criminal such is Ma Klintoon
Politics is like a box of chocolates.
Yeh right....
Klintoon is going nowhere ..after the Khan job she’s goin down hard ...
This is a sound strategy for the dems and one they would be wise to exploit. Will Trump have an answer?
not all Republicans are conservative. mainstream media is a poodle opponent. It’s like fighting Tass in the old days.
Consider the source plus it’s the RNC establishment that’s doing the crossing over not the voters! And why arent they writting articles about Bernie jumping over to trump? All I can tell you is beware and guard your heart! No need to be faint of heart!! Nerves of steel people remember nerves of steel! That’s what we’ll need until this hellish election cycle is over! Trump will win!!
Oops ...Meant to say Bernies voters jumping over to Trump!
The GOPe is already with her
She’s wooing them with her “woo woo”. (Apologies to Mel Brooks).
How do you go from being a conservative to voting for Clinton?
If these people, these so-called Republicans, cause Trump to lose, I’ll never vote GOP ever again.
I left the Republican Party 15 years ago. I guess I was ahead of the curve.
Or help her win by not voting or by throwing a vote away on a fringe party candidate.
