Mallory McMorrow, who had already dropped out of the race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re going to have to be willing to get into a conversation that brings those people over,\u201d Mrs. Clinton said of Mr. El-Sayed\u2019s supporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re not going to convince Republican voters in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/michigan\/\">Michigan<\/a>, and the real fight will be how do we make sure that people who voted for Haley feel comfortable voting for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/abdul-el-sayed\/\">Abdul El-Sayed<\/a> and how do we get independents to feel comfortable?\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Clinton complained that far-left liberals have cost the Democratic Party victories in the past by not reconciling with mainstream candidates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen they lose [in primaries], they often don\u2019t support the candidate that has been nominated,\u201d she said. \u201cThere was a lot of reluctance to support me when I got the nomination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She defeated socialist Sen. Bernard Sanders, Vermont independent, in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary before losing to President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Clinton is also calling on Mr. El-Sayed and other firebrands to develop a response to Republicans who call them \u201ccommunists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cThe Republican messaging is communists, socialists. It\u2019s going to be a very effective attack, so people on the left have to be prepared to answer that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added of Republicans\u2019 line of attack, \u201cI assume they\u2019ve tested it and I assume that they have reason to believe that it\u2019s effective or they wouldn\u2019t be beating the drum on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>                        <a name=\"pagebreak\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Mr. El-Sayed\u2019s Republican opponent, former Rep.
