“The way to get Hillary to cooperate is to be cooperative and not to attack her personally”, Dean said.
Clinton’s campaign says she plans to discuss her child care proposals during a stop at a family health center in Louisville, Kentucky, on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Carville said he thinks that the Clinton campaign will need to bring Sanders into the fold, just as Clinton joined with Obama. A recent Monmouth University poll showed Clinton with a almost 30-point advantage. Clinton’s unfavorable score hits a high of 62 percent in OH, while Trump’s top out at 57 percent in Florida and Ohio.

He finished with 1,187 votes, or 23.7 percent, to Clinton’s 1,074 votes, or 21.4 percent. Forty-two percent (42%) don’t consider a Sanders endorsement important, with 25% who say it’s Not At All Important to how they will vote.
Can she find a theme that turns some of these people off of Donald Trump, who’s message has been able to resonate across the GOP electorate regardless of age, religiosity, or economics?
