Should Hillary appeal to Republican women for their support?

Surely someone in that Party is willing to put country over Party, especially when their choice is Donald Trump?

It now appears that this is going to be a very close race and every vote counts. There is little doubt but that Trump is playing on the racist, sexist, nativist tendencies of many voters. He is cultivating the very worst within our society.

Republican women should turn on him. They should choose their country over the fascist in waiting. They know what they are voting for. Will they be the ones to save our Republic from this scourge called "Trumpism"?

Time is growing short. People are going to have to decide what direction they want our country to go. That is why we have elections. Those that think the Republican leaders in the House and Senate will control Donald Trump are "bigly" mistaken. They will do everything he asks.

Let us hope for a return to sanity and let it start with Republican women. Hillary should make a direct appeal for their support, in my opinion.

White women do not want to elect Hitler II or those who support him such as Burr in NC

I do think she can make implicit appeals to all women.
Repub women are listening. Especially younger single and older educated Repub women.
I'm actually more worried about millennials and African Americans.
Apparently, they are underperforming so far in early voting.
Bernie needs to hit every college campus in North Carolina, New Hampshire, and Fla.
The Obamas need to do the same in predominantly black areas in those states plus Philly.
Hispanic vote is up. Kaine is our biggest weapon here.
Let Biden and Bill hit some rural blue collar union areas.

And, let's hope and pray that maybe one more Trump negative story sticks and that there are no more bullshite email or Comey stories before Tuesday.

By the way, Kentuck, I read every one of your posts. Always well thought out and presented.
So glad you are on our side.

Been doing a little more reading. Busy at the office as well. I'm really getting excited for Tuesday.
