Democrats see danger signs in states where Clinton has not fully engaged

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. — Hillary Clinton’s campaign strategists look at the general-election map and see a bounty of electoral college votes that are hers for the taking: in Florida and Virginia, Colorado and Nevada — all places where Donald Trump has badly damaged his standing with nonwhites and women.

Yet as Clinton plots her march to the White House, there are warning signs elsewhere — in states where her campaign is not yet making a full investment. And that has sparked concern from allies who say Trump must not be underestimated.

In Michigan, Pennsylvania and, to a lesser extent, Wisconsin, an affinity for Trump’s message of economic populism and nationalism has surprised many Democrats. These are big, industrial states they have carried for the past three decades — and where Clinton, so far, has not fully focused.

3. They are rust-belt states, not at all the 'big industrial states' they once were.

And the rusting has converted this land of sky-blue waters into a rather more acid realm of tannic and rusty colors more reminiscent of 'tea'.

This is a weakness with a 'national' economic focus that is on globalization for financial centers and a laissez faire relationship with the notion that protecting and developing a domestic economy is undesireable in a 'post-industrial' economy.

The very American orientation that only winners are worthy of investment and that losers should be abandoned is quite alienating for the losers. Failure to recognize that can only be attributed to being 'out-of-touch'.

4. Looks like she is doing fine to me.

I see WaPo is back to their subtle anti-Hillary hit pieces.

6. Good thing us HRC voters are used to it and recognize them "subtle hits"

They mean them as dog whistles but felines can hear them too. So it backfires! Joke's on them! F*ckers!

7. The GE campaign has just started, so for goodness sake, calm down and give her campaign a chance.
