Do you know what her positions are? Do you agree with them? I'd think that would matter more than the question of who's talking against her.

That's just the thing. Most people couldn't really tell you what the positions are, but rather, it's a "feeling". A significant portion of the population are comfortable with her and identify with her. That's a very powerful pull I think the Republicans have brilliantly exploited. I think this is what the Dems don't understand. The more they push, the further away they go and become more entrenched and convinced the Dems are condescending to them. TO me, it's a strategic error (or deliberate if that's what they are going for).
So no amount of shit flinging will change their minds. Better to focus on the rest and try to appeal to them on a similar level.
