Democratic senators, anxious over Hillary Clintons inability to pull away from Donald Trump, have some advice for their nominee: Be more open, show your soul, focus on the economy and talk about blue-collar jobs.
Recent polls show Trump within striking distance of Clinton, defying predictions in Washington that he is doomed in November.
Trumps ability to stay competitive while running an unconventional campaign has underscored what Democratic lawmakers see as the need for Clinton to improve in certain areas. These lawmakers, who served with Clinton in Congress and have known her for years, say her public persona is too guarded.
They struggle to reconcile the charismatic, warm and funny woman they know in private with Clintons public persona, which can come across as stern, aloof or annoyed.
Democratic senators say its natural for Clinton to put up her guard because she has been the target of Republican attacks for decades. But they think she might benefit from relaxing a little more on the campaign trail.
Her decades in this arena have taken their toll, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.). When youre hit a lot theres almost an unconscious shield that controls the answers to your questions. I think shes got to get rid of that and just let herself be.
Everybody that knows her, loves her. They know her heart is full, she added. Thats what she ought to do, just take the shield away from the heart.
Vice President Biden offered similar advice earlier in the week, calling on her to be more open.
Clinton has had the most difficulty connecting with white working-class voters. A nationwide CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday showed Trump beating Clinton among white voters without college degrees, 66 percent to 23 percent.
Many of these voters question her trustworthiness.

That would end up like seeing Pennywise the Clown in the Stephen King novel "IT".
She opened up this week and a loogie came out into her drink. If she opens up any more, I’ll puke.
Here is Cankle's soul. How would showing this to voters help?
How could anyone type this without spewing on the keyboard?
Political class dead Enders love her
Wasn’t this floated a few months ago? We into re-runs already?
Yeah, I bet she's a real sweetheart. Puke!
I notice The Hill states that Trump is "within striking distance" of Hillary. They continue to live in denial or intentionally obfuscate the truth that Trump is ahead and not merely closing in.
One, I believe if Clinton has a soul, it is blacker than midnight on a cloudy moonless night. I really don't think anyone who is pro-Hillary wants everyone else to see more of her.
As for focusing on the economy, that's not going to work either. Hillary was part of the bammy administration, and her economic outlook, plan, and policies closely mirror his. Regardless of what the cheerleading MSM may shovel, out here in the real world we all know the bammy economy sucks.
...Democratic lawmakers see as the need for Clinton to improve in certain areas...
"Certain areas?" How about across the board!? I can't think of one single area - other than maybe rampant criminality and getting away with it - where Clinton could not improve. She's a walking/stumbling disaster on any issue, any topic you care to name. There are scandals, failures, and not a few literal bodies scattered in her considerable wake.
They struggle to reconcile the charismatic, warm and funny woman they know in private with Clintons public persona...
You've got to be kidding. Sorry pal, this whopper ain't going to fly either. We've all heard/read far too many stories from insiders, USSS, etc. that say in private Clinton is even more of an evil, vindictive, walking horror show than she is in public.
Democratic senators say its natural for Clinton to put up her guard because she has been the target of Republican attacks for decades.
Wrong conclusion, again, but then what do you expect from 'rat Senators - if they were competent and truthful they wouldn't/couldn't be 'rat Senators. She's been the "target" of scrutiny and efforts to bring her and her cohorts in crime to justice for years. I'm sure she feels like they have been attacks because well, they are - attacks against a massive criminal enterprise, the kind that would make even Don Corleone envious. What I would expect is that decades of experience should equip her to handle this kind of thing deftly. The fact that she apparently isn't is indicative of her failing health and mental faculties. There's no-doubt no small part of crocodile tears and weak attempts at sympathy too. But really, sympathy for Clinton? At the helm of a crime syndicate that has laundered over a billion dollars? Sympathy for her and her lifestyle? I don't think so.
She. Just. Can't. Keep. It. Under. Wraps.
She can't because she lies. Everyone near her is also a liar and doesn't mind being lied to.
So
it’s the Republicans fault that this lying, corrupt, inept, sickly, harridan is losing?
Ri-i-i-i-ight.
Given she was First Lady of AR & the USA, US Senator, Sec of State, if she can’t come off as human while campaigning, maybe it is hopeless. I don’t recall her being like this in 2008. Maybe it is her meds?
DJT is single-handedly rebranding both political parties.
He took on the GOPe and the pre-ordained nomination of Jeb Bush and exposed the upper party leadership for who they are. And that effort continues.
HRC is probably still fuming about being denied the democrat party nomination 8 years ago, and nothing was going to stop her now. Where were all the effective democrats, not Jim Webb, not the former mayor of Baltimore, and not the one socialist senator to run on the democrat ticket.
DJT is winning voters from all over just because he dares to proclaim the values held dear by most Americans. He has an excellent chance to redefine the Republican Party for some time, and reveal the trash heap that the democrat party has evolved into.
illary is promising to give our country to fraudulently documented foreigners.
She wants a shooting war with Russia.
She wants to end the 2nd Amendment.
She is a criminal.
I’m amazed she still has 20% support.
If cold fish Hillary was charismatic, warm and funny, it would be obvious.
What planet are these people living on? The woman who appeared at the CinC Forum Wednesday bight was an angry and bitter woman full of bile.
No one liked her. I have to see ONE person who says they actually like Hillary.
This is just too funny cause Hillary is nothing in public like the woman they claim to know - cause no one has ever seen her. DUH
Yeah, open up Hillary. Go on TV and say “ I don’t have Parkinsons or brain damage. I am in perfect health and here are my medical records.”
Show her soul?! Are they crazy?!!!
