Panic In The Hillary Clinton Camp As The Trump Juggernaut Intensifies
Clinton Democrats Turn a Nervous Eye to Trump After His Nevada Blowout
Heading into Super Tuesday, Hillary Clinton is just one pledged delegate ahead of Bernie Sanders. But at a Virginia campaign rally with Bill Clinton on Wednesday, the Vermont senator seemed like an afterthought. Even as the Clinton campaign approaches the height of the Democratic primary, Donald Trump seems to loom large. And though some progressives are bullish about their chances to take down Trump, his dominant showing in Nevada is clearly making the Clintons and their Democratic allies nervous.
The Hillary Clinton campaign itself seems suddenly anxious over the Trump phenomenon. “Everything’s coming up Trump — we need to take this seriously!” they wrote in the subject line of a fundraising e-mail sent late on Wednesday evening. Most Clinton Democrats at the rally agreed and are nervously eyeing Trump’s dominance over his Republican rivals. “A couple of months ago, I would’ve said, ‘Okay, that would be our best possible strategy, that Trump would win, Hillary would beat him,’” says Kathy Michaelman, of Fairfax, Va. “But the way I see people voting and the support that he’s getting — when he alienates a group, the next day his numbers go up, when you think it would make them go down — that’s what worries me.”
Hillary No Longer Laughing At The Prospect Of Facing Donald Trump
“You have to trust the electorate, and I don’t,” says Peter Michaelman. “There are a lot of people who are just angry at politics in general, and they say, ‘You know, let’s try something different.’” Alexandria native Janet Brandenstein worries that Trump’s support could grow — or even increase — in a national race against Clinton. “Actually, I think people are crazy enough right now that [a Trump win] could go against us, too,” she says. “I think it’s a very dangerous thing to wish for something that you think might be disastrous for the other party,” says A. K. Minnick, also from Alexandria. “I know a lot of Democrats are thinking [Trump] will be an easy target. I don’t necessarily think so.” source
