Trump vs Clinton if Clinton campaigned like in 08

[NewYorkExpress]

Clinton only campaigned that way in 2008 because she was losing to Obama.

If she thought she was losing to Trump, she probably would've pulled a "Palin" and gone for a "shock and awe" VP pick, picking someone like Tammy Baldwin (first LBTQ on a major party ticket), Julian or Joaquin Castro (First Hispanic on a major party ticket) or Bernie Sanders (unites the party, first open socialist on a major party ticket...unless you count FDR, and he certainly wasn't a socialist until after he was sworn in).

If Clinton had campaigned like she did in '08, she would have lost the nomination to Sanders or some other progressive.

The question is specifically referring to the general election, and assumes Clinton's already won the nomination.

That said, you're probably right.

If she’s already won the nomination when she makes the shift, then absolutely she will win the GE.

The thing is, she only campaigned that way in 2008 when she was losing to Obama. She would have to be losing to Trump to be campaigning this way.
