in case this hasn't been posted: As Hillary Clinton Sweeps States, One Group Resists: White Men

[elleng]

'White men narrowly backed Hillary Clinton in her 2008 race for president, but they are resisting her candidacy this time around in major battleground states, rattling some Democrats about her general-election strategy.

While Mrs. Clinton swept the five major primaries on Tuesday, she lost white men in all of them, and by double-digit margins in Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio, exit polls showed — a sharp turnabout from 2008, when she won double-digit victories among white male voters in all three states.

She also performed poorly on Tuesday with independents, who have never been among her core supporters. But white men were, at least when Mrs. Clinton was running against a black opponent: She explicitly appealed to them in 2008, extolling the Second Amendment, mocking Barack Obama’s comment that working-class voters “cling to guns or religion” and even needling him at one point over his difficulties with “working, hard-working Americans, white Americans.”

She could not sound more different today, aggressively campaigning to toughen gun-control laws and especially courting black and Hispanic voters.'>>>

1. Of course millenials aren't a group

Make it about race, make it about gender, make it about anything other than what a useless old guard republican-lite candidate Clinton is.

2. The fact that she appeals to people of color is a powerful progressive virtue

The fact that so many oppressed groups support Hillary speaks well of her, and the fact that she has earned their trust more than she's earned the trust of white men, speaks well of her. She has to solve this problem not only to reach out to moderates and independents, but also to Bernie supporters, but it's hard to argue that the support she has among minorities is an enviable quality.
