… Skeptical voters, especially white working-class ones, “are open to an expansive Democratic economic agenda — to more benefits for child care and higher education, to tax hikes on the wealthy, to investment in infrastructure spending,” Stanley B. Greenberg, chief pollster for the 1992 Clinton campaign, wrote in a recent memo for the Democratic Strategist. …
Greenberg has urged Clinton and other Democrats to talk about streamlining the federal government even before they talk about new programs — “reform first.” “When voters hear the reform narrative first, they are then dramatically more open to … calls for government activism in response to America’s problems,” he wrote.
But so far, Clinton is doing the opposite. CONT.
