Hillary Clinton Fights to Win Over Her Own Demographic: White Women NPR

Melissa Deckman is a professor at Washington College who understands women and politics. Deckman believes that Clinton absolutely has the potential to win more white women than Barack Obama did in 2012,

Simply stated, Hillary Clinton has a Trump card, and she should play it.

"I think the best offense for Hillary Clinton, frankly, is just to keep pointing out how weak and how unpresidential someone like Donald Trump is, and I think it really could help her make inroads to suburban women voters," said Deckman.

The thought of a Trump presidency is a compelling argument for some women, such as Greer Fitzgerald; she considers herself a "fiscally conservative, socially liberal person." Call her a true Independent who voted for Obama in 2008 but flipped to Romney in 2012, believing that the economic recovery wan't moving quickly enough.

NPR takes us into Fitzgerald's book club meeting in a suburb east of Columbus. Trump is front and center in her brain. Is this the man we want meeting with world leaders?

"He's a cartoon ... he's a misogynistic, completely racially-like inept. I don't know, I'm gonna get flustered," she said, visibly frustrated.

"I can't even see him as an actual political figure. His foreign policy is to build a wall, well, that's my three-year-old's policy — to close the door between her and her sister so they can't get in a fight anymore," she said."

Reality is that we can't run a three-year-old petulant child for president of the United States.

Hillary Clinton Fires Up Supporters With Powerful Speech at Planned Parenthood Cosmopolitan

Hillary Clinton made an empowering speech to a group of more than 800 women (and a handful of men) at the Planned Parenthood Action Fund in Washington, D.C., today. It was Clinton's first public appearance since securing the Democratic presidential nomination, and she didn't waste any time explaining why a Donald Trump presidency would be terrible for women in 2016.

"Donald assures us as president, he will be 'the best' for women. Anyone who wants to defund Planned Parenthood and wipe out safe and legal abortion has no idea what's best for women. It's kind of hard to imagine counting on him to respect our fundamental rights," Clinton said.

Democrats Will Rally Around Hillary Clinton Slate

I've been reading Mic.com which says that Bernie's college-age women are weeping with cries that his loss is more than they canbear.Mic.com called in a grief counselor who agreed that this trauma is the equivalent to death of a close family member.

At that moment I was writing about young girls in the Congo being raped regularly just walking 5 miles to get water or running for firewood, so my full sympathies were elsewhere.

We note that Sanders surrogate Cornel West is no longer calling Trump 'Brother Trump', while shredding Hillary Clinton from the stage.

This is a good sign, although Native American activist Deborah Parker -- who joined West in introducing Bernie at his DC rally on Thursday -- noted how:

{Quote}: “difficult” the past few days had been for her, explaining how she’s “had to go into my hotel room and just hold on, just really hold on.”

“I do believe in prayer, so I had to pray that that good spirit inside of me comes out because I was angry,” she added

But resistance wasn’t West’s aim. While he wouldn’t be so milquetoast neoliberal as to demand Sanders supporters rush to Clinton’s side in the fall, he did, in his own way, make clear the choice that lay before everyone. “But we know the difference between a neoliberal and a neofascist,” he continued, “so you make your own decision! And I’m simply here to say that I love brother Bernie Sanders, whatever he decides, but I’m a free man, and you’re a free man and woman: Make your decision based on your love for poor and working people!”'

Clinton Campaign's 'Infomercial on Trump University'

Hillary Clinton Campaign Releases Fake Infomercial for Trump University TIME

The Hillary Clinton campaign dove into Trump University waters with a mock infomercial for the real-estate program which is center state in the lawsuit presided over by U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel.

“We guarantee you’ll give Trump U a glowing review—because we’ll make you,” the ad continues, referencing reports that some enthusiastic endorsements of endorsements were potentially coerced or posted by insiders connected to the Trump organizaation. .

“Trump University was a massive scam and nothing close to an actual school,” a Clinton campaign official said. “Preying on the elderly, encouraging potential customers to max out credit cards and drain their savings, and making trumped up promises about how to profit off of the housing crisis.”

The Clinton campaign is launching a major effort to brand Trump as a 'fraud' who routinely made money off the very disadvantaged people he promised to help. This innovative spot is designed to stand out amid social media clutter, an arena in which the Clinton campaign hasn't excelled during the primaries.

One thing we know for certain. Trump will be fuming. ~ Anne

Sanders to meet with Clinton on Tuesday Politico

Bernie Sanders will meet with Hillary Clinton on Tuesday night to understand fully her policy positions. The meeting will help determine whether or not Sanders can support Clinton.

"I simply want to get a sense of what kind of platform she will be supporting, whether she will be vigorous in standing up for working families and the middle class, moving aggressively in climate change, healthcare for all, making public colleges and universities tuition-free," Sanders said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "And after we have that kind of discussion and after we can determine whether or not we are going to have a strong and progressive platform, I will be able to make other decisions."
