Clinton vs. Sanders: Hillary shows weakness but Bernie is no Barack Obama

Imagine Hillary Clinton's relief, come Wednesday morning, when she no longer has to grovel before New Hampshire's famously prickly primary electorate.

It means no credibility leapfrogging as in 2008 when, following a third-place humiliation in Iowa, she told a New Hampshire debate audience: "I'm running on 35 years of change."

Or, on Thursday night in Durham, New Hampshire, with Clinton repeatedly invoking the Bin Laden raid - be it her hard work on behalf of President Obama -- or her hard work, post-Obama, on the speech circuit.

About Thursday night's Democratic debate - the only time Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will meet before Tuesday's Granite State primary, some observations:

He’s far more dangerous.

He’s the kooky, but “lovable” grandpa that wants to give you stuff, and he was “down for the struggle” since the 60s.

That stuff is catnip for Millennials.

We are between a rock and a hard place. Either we take Cankles or Grandpa Lenin.

He is a millenial darling, but millenials do not make up a large or reliable voting bloc. I'm all for Bernie winning on the Dem side. I think even Jeb could beat him, even in the face of Bush Fatigue.

Plus Hillary needs her final years to be filled with rejection and humiliation, as much as possible.

Based on how well old Burney is doing, I really believe if this was Squaw Warren vs Hillary, Fauxcahontas would win easily.

Bernie just has to muddy up the waters a little bit before the Democrat power structure inserts another candidate into the race.

She’s probably kicking herself for not getting in the race. She would be cleaning up on Hillary right now, but to be fair six months ago Shrillary looked unbeatable and it made no sense then to get in the race. Now that Hillary’s campaign is wounded and taking on water there is widespread panic with the Dems, and other candidates I’m sure are being prepped and ready to step in like Uncle Joe or maybe Fauxahontas as well.

The squaw is a heap better campaigner than Hil or Bern.

Maybe Bernie is no Barack Obama but Hillary is still Hillary.
