Isn't that a switch: white males in the minority, and there's talk that their vote isn't even needed for Hillary to win. That must make them feel....well....as undesirable as females have felt for YEARS.

(Sorry but I can't take the feminist out of me.)

Yes, because the exception that proves the rule. One, they don't need Vermont to win, two, You have Cook and LA county alone account for Obama's entire margin in 2012.

Counties needed: LA, Cook, King, Philadelphia, Cuyahoga, Prince George, Fairfax, etc.

In 2012 Romney defeated Obama among white men 62-35.

White men are going to vote for one of their own (Trump) over Hillary.  That's just the way it is.  Any idea that Hillary can make a major improvement over Obama's white male performance would be foolish.  Obama won the 2012 election 51-47 in spite of his abysmal performance among white men.  However, I think Clinton can make a logical pitch to white men with a college degree that Trump is crazy and dangerous while she is rational and well-prepared.

Denounce the ideology of social justice and its supporters.

She could adopt some of Sanders' positions and support decriminalizing marijuana, for one. She could also refrain from running on gun control, which would make sense considering that the type of "swing voter" who's in favor of gun control is already pretty repulsed by Trump.

In general, making her college plan more encompassing/aggressive, running against Trump's abuse of construction workers and his corporate greed might pay dividends in winning over "white males". These changes would also play well with the electorate as a whole and wouldn't seem like ridiculous panders. Even if they appeared to be artificial, a move to embrace more of Sanders' rhetoric/platform combined with a good VP choice (Franken or Warren) would demonstrate that Hillary is "for real" and "gets it".

Will she do this? I'm not sure but I'd prefer that Hillary run on the broadest possible anti-Trump message rather than "slicing and dicing" the electorate, a move that worked in 2012 but that failed miserably in 2014.

Given that a Democrat can win America with just 20 counties, yes, they are the party of urbanites.

Your post implied that gay people are "a small band of urbanites" though.

I can guarantee you that there are a lot of gay people in your area.
