Clinton wooing a new group of voters: Republicans

Clinton had always planned to speak to a broader audience during the general election campaign, a standard move for presidential candidates after their party conventions.

A small team is working on Republican outreach at Clinton's campaign headquarters in Brooklyn, largely focused on fielding calls from Republicans interested in giving money and helping with fundraising.

A more formal effort will launch soon, focusing on wooing uneasy GOP voters at the national and state level.

[...] some longtime GOP voters appear persuadable, such as Don Campbell, executive director of the National Electrical Contractors Association, and a Republican who's backing Clinton.

Clinton's campaign doesn't anticipate a mass movement of what they call "common sense Republican" voters or elected officials to her candidacy, according to a pair of aides.

Clinton's campaign and her allies have paused some of their advertising in Virginia and Colorado, a sign of confidence in those key battleground states.

Allies at Priorities USA, a super PAC supporting her bid, have begun airing an ad in swing states featuring footage of Romney and other Republicans expressing their concerns about Trump's experience and temperament.

Republican strategists say Trump's devotion to his message and penchant for controversy have affected his campaign's ability to effectively attack Clinton.
