I turn on the news and want to scream – another poll with Hillary Clinton in the lead! How? She's all but dropped out of the race, and a new Clinton scandal breaks every half-hour. So how is she winning?
It makes my head spin. Hillary disappears – her numbers go up. She mishandles classified information and breaks the law – her numbers go up.

OOH, I seem to have touched a sensitive spot.
Really, you should try to be more honest with yourself. You’ll feel better.
“OOH, I seem to have touched a sensitive spot.”
Dunning–Kruger effect: A cognitive bias wherein relatively unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than is accurate. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to accurately evaluate their own ability level.
Excellent! You’re making good progress - that is a good and honest description of you.
Just keep at it and you’ll be fine. A couple more posts and you’ll be there.
