Unlike Trump, Clinton is not trying to thread an electoral needle. To the chagrin of the left, she’s nodding to Bernie Sanders’ populist agenda but not basing her entire campaign around it.
All of that suggests she wants it all: a coalition of moderate Democrats, progressive populists, free-traders and military interventionists that could produce a double-digit landslide.

planning a trip on Monday to Omaha, in the bright-red state of Nebraska. Under Nebraska’s unusual system, candidates can pick up Electoral College votes by winning specific congressional districts. Mr. Obama picked up one electoral vote in 2008 by capturing the district that includes Omaha.
The campaign also hopes to retake North Carolina
Even Utah might be in play. Robby Mook, the Clinton campaign manager, said this week that the traditionally Republican state, which hasn’t voted for the Democratic nominee since 1964, is a “heavy lift.” But he added that Mr. Trump created “headwinds” for himself, having “alienated the Mormon Church.”
