Winning Democrat nomination needs voter coalition: Clinton campaign
NEW YORK
The campaign of Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton on Wednesday called support from a broad coalition of voters - including people of color, women and union households - "critical" for anyone hoping to secure the party's nomination for the November 2016 election and beyond.
Robby Mook, Clinton's campaign manager, noted support for the former secretary of state among African Americans, Latinos and Asian American Pacific Islanders, women and union households in a memo sent out by the campaign.
He also noted that Clinton won white voters in the nominating contests for several states on Super Tuesday, the previous day, in which Clinton won seven states to the four states captured by her rival, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
"It is also important to note that these constituencies are not only critical to winning the Democratic nomination but will also be central to how a Democrat wins in November, and a candidate that starts with a deep base of support will have an advantage in the general election," Mook wrote.

(1,680 posts)Do so many people here hijack every thread and turn it into an anti-Clinton forum. Can you not occasionally read the thread and comment on it without the vitriol?

(13,878 posts)that anti-Sanders is the same thing as pro-Clinton? Because I don't see any attack or disparaging comments in the OP about Sanders.

(15,189 posts)I will vote for Bernie or Jill Stein. I will NEVER support her in any way shape or form. Cheaters and liars don't get my respect. They just get my hatred.

(13,878 posts)that the eventual GOP nominee would be thrilled to hear this sentiment.
I will not hesitate to enthusiastically support the Democratic candidate, because the alternative is too dire to even consider.

(1,536 posts)In the primaries, it's been Sanders.
It may, or may not, be HRC in the general (if she even gets there). We'll see what all the candidates positions are on the issues I care about. The only thing I can guarantee is that it won't be GOP.
