U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's election strategy to focus on core Democratic states

06/06/2015

The strategy means focussing on parts of the midwest such as Ohio and Wisconsin, the East and the West. It means ignoring deep red Republican states such as Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, West Virginia. This suggests less attention would be paid to the independent voter on the basis of the increased polarization in the country, and risking everything on winning with women, Hispanic and younger voters, leaving vast parts of the white working class aside. This is unlike Hillary Clinton's campaign in 2008, and Bill Clinton's two winning presidential campaigns which appealed to centrist voters. This may also be because Hillary Clinton in 2015 is perceived as a polarizing candidate for right of centre voters, compared to Bill Clinton, and the failure of Republicans to change perceptions on issues such as immigration, on women's issues, and wages, keeping the core Democratic constituency together. This could change if a Republican candidate is able to appeal to voters on the left by staking out positions on immigration, wages and womens issues that are different from the Republican party's right wing, as shown by Jeb Bush of Florida.

For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
