We live in an age of narratives, not news. The narrative in the mainstream media is that Hillary Clinton is “inevitable” as the Democratic nominee, with supporting polling data from the New York Times (that oversamples Democrats and under-samples Republicans) manufactured to support the narrative. But the real news, what people need to know, is that Hillary looks like a disaster-in-the-making, with very poor campaign skills and an indefensible record overseeing foreign policy disasters that have exploded in the face of Obama.
But some in the mainstream media are beginning to shed their reluctance to say that the empress has no clothes. Check out this editorial from the Miami Herald (hat tip: Jerry Schmitt):
The aura of inevitability in which Hillary Clinton basked for so long has smacked up against the reality of the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign. And both she and the Democratic Party are worse off. (snip)…it’s no longer too early for Mrs. Clinton to make the case that she’s hungry for this job, that she’s the better choice for the position. So far, though, she hasn’t really moved the needle of her poll numbers since declaring her candidacy. And despite the intimate, unrecorded chats Mrs. Clinton has held with small groups of voters, her 27-day silence let others fill the void and tell the public who she is, and mostly in negative terms. (snip)
…Mrs. Clinton comes with baggage, the contents of which should be examined, explained. The dubious sources of donations to the Clinton Foundation, for instance, are fair game.

Stupid Hillary is the reason there are so many Republican candidates.
“.....some in the mainstream media are beginning to shed their reluctance to say that the empress has no clothes”.......
And that my FP friends would be an UGLE SIGHT!
She will win the Press will get behind her…She is a woman????
I won’t discount the possibility that the Dems want to lose this one, because they have steered this ship right at the icebergs, and want a different captain on board when it sinks.

Hillary best exemplified their feminism, by riding hubby coattail first, then rude and ruthless personified.
But you will not get any champions of feminists (esp. in the media business) to admit that. NOT EVER!
NOT EVEN LAZ :)
“by riding hubby coattail first”
Methinks that is the only thing she rides on her husband for YEARS.
NOT EVEN LAZ :)
Long term tactics lend credibility to this scenario. Marxism is not a short term program. It will be a simple matter for the dems to blame pubbies for everything that goes wrong in the next presidency. There will be plenty of catastrophes all laid down and become inevitable under Obama.
-——the empress has no clothes-——
eewww!
In other words propaganda. We live in an age of democrat propaganda.
Hard to argue that logic. You make a great point. They did exactly that to President Bush.
Cruz and Walker are the reason there are so many Republican Candidates. The eGOP is terrified.
She was supposed to be waltzing to her coronation back in 2007. Instead she was bested by a younger, more exciting unknown. Don’t be surprised if it happens again. Someone like O’Malley could easily jump into the campaign offering a fresh face and energy to an otherwise limited Democrat candidate field. Never underestimate the MSM’s and low information voter’s tendency to be distracted by shiny objects.
Ha
Shhhhhhh....
So I’ve heard.
