Hillary Plots to Revive Clintonism in 2018 Elections<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Hillary Plots to Revive Clintonism in 2018 Elections:- Although Clinton lost the election, she is still trying to run the Democratic Party by other means. The Hill reported on July 8 that Hillary Clinton is planning to campaign and fundraise for Democratic congressional candidates in 2018. The article states that she will use her Super PAC, Onward Together, as a fundraising apparatus. In an interview shortly after launching the PAC in May 2017, she criticized the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and implied it was useless during her presidential campaign. \u201cI mean it was bankrupt. It was on the verge of insolvency. Its data was mediocre to poor, nonexistent, wrong,\u201d she said. \u201cI had to inject money into it.\u201d Thus, she essentially told her billionaire donors that the DNC was a liability and they should donate to her Super PAC instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe also is looking at the House districts she won in last year\u2019s presidential contest against Donald Trump as part of an autopsy of her failed campaign, according to two sources who have spoken to the former secretary of state,\u201d Amie Parnes, a co-author of Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton\u2019s Doomed Campaign, wrote for the Hill. Democratic leadership has continued to use Clinton\u2019s strategies, even though Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff received a smaller share of the vote than Hillary Clinton did in the same district in Georgia\u2019s special congressional election this year. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nationwide, Clinton won wealthy suburbs in record numbers, including 23 congressional districts that are currently held by Republicans. In an op-ed for Politico, Clinton staffer Jesse Ferguson wrote, \u201cDemocrats have to solidify the support of Romney-Clinton voters if they have any hope of retaking Congress.\u201d The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) conducted focus groups on Americans who voted for Mitt Romneyy in 2012 and Hillary Clinton in 2016 to incorporate this strategy moving forward. <\/span><\/p>\n

In July 2016, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer infamously said, \u201cFor every blue collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.\u201d He was wrong and continuing to rely on this strategy ensures that the Democratic Party will remain in the minority indefinitely.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Hill stated that Republicans welcome Hillary Clinton\u2019s involvement in the 2018 midterm elections. Her reputation for scandals, corruption and poor leadership provide them with even more political ammunition than House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi\u2019s unpopularity. Clinton intervening in congressional races by actively campaigning for candidates will feed into Republicans\u2019 messaging that the Democratic Party is the party of the Clintons.<\/span><\/p>\n

Targeting wealthy suburbs aligns with the will of the Democratic Party\u2019s wealthiest donors\u2014Hillary Clinton\u2019s closest allies. This strategy moves the party away from necessary reforms and ensures that it will remain shaped by the former first family\u2019s image. Establishment Democrats would rather shift to the center and court elites at lavish fundraisers than enact meaningful policies. All the while, working class, middle class and low income voters are increasingly disenfranchised from the party they view as beholden to corporations and the wealthy.<\/span><\/p>\n
