After a year of staking out liberal positions and focusing largely on minority voters, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is repositioning itself to appeal to independent and Republican-leaning white voters turned off by the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee, Donald Trump.

With the Democratic nomination in sight, Clinton has broadened her economic message and devoted days to apologizing for a comment she previously made that angered working-class whites.

She also has pledged that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, who remains widely popular among the blue-collar voters drawn to Trump, would “come out of retirement and be in charge” of creating jobs in places that have been particularly hard hit.

The move comes at a time when the Republican Party is publicly grappling with whether to embrace its unconventional nominee. The House speaker, Paul D. Ryan, said Thursday that he was “just not ready” to back Trump.

As Clinton talks to voters, her campaign is trying to gain endorsements from influential Republican leaders, including former elected officials and retired generals, who can help convince voters that she is their best alternative to Trump.

1. Hillary has contempt for progressives, but Republicans are people she can work with

Because at heart she is still a Goldwater Girl. If only she could get them to stop trying to investigate her all the time, working with Republican majorities in both Houses of Congress would be a dream scenario for delivering high returns on investments to the top 0.1% who have funded her and Bill for the last 15 years.

I want to see this contempt.

And preemptively I'm going to call b******* on everything because obviously you're making this s*** up.

2. She should be targeting independents

Republicans will never vote for her

6. Repositioning equals fundraising? I would humbly suggest

she would actually need to change a position for that to be true.

8. Excellent... this is a great opportunity to convert some Repubs on the fence.

Much like Reagan did to us back in the 80s.
