23. Exactly
The Clintons and the Bushes look at this country differently than we do. They have an entitlement mentality. No ordinary person would have had the chutzpah to call herself a New Yorker and run to be their Senator. No ordinary politician would look at her negatives and still say that this ought to be her campaign to lose. It takes a whole different level of ego to make that work.

All politicians have egos. You cannot campaign without one. But this Clinton thing goes way beyond that. She, her husband, and their DLC entourage thought they had everything greased for their triumphant return to the White House.

Write it down. Today was the day she realized it is not happening. She is down double digits in NH and she is falling fast nationally. Bill may have been able to orchestrate a comeback, but this year's compressed schedule makes it impossible to recover from her free fall.

You don't have to win the first two, but you can't go from 15 points up to 10 points down and pull out of that dive by Super Tuesday. Ain't happening.

She understands that. The tears were real. I'm glad she will not be our candidate. And I honestly feel her pain.
