For Hillary Clinton, it’s starting to look like deja vu all over again.
Start a bid for the Democratic presidential nomination as giant front-runner. Check. Raise tens of millions of dollars and look unbeatable for large swaths of the year before the primaries start. Check. An insurgent challenger running to her ideological left? Check. Collapsing poll numbers on the eve of actual votes? Check.
Over the past week or so, Clinton has watched as her national polling lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.), a self-avowed socialist, has shrunk. And, far more important, Clinton’s standing vis a vis Sanders in the key early-voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire has eroded as well.
In Iowa, after holding a high-single-digit lead (at worst) for months, Clinton now finds herself in a dead heat with the caucuses just over a week away. The Real Clear Politics polling average gives Clinton an edge of less than five points.
Sanders has always run stronger in New Hampshire than in Iowa, but of late several polls suggest that he is widening his steady lead over the former secretary of state. In the Real Clear Politics polling average, Sanders is up by almost 13 points.

Hillary Clinton, for watching history repeat itself, you had the worst week in Washington. Congrats, or something.
Cilliza.
Teflon Hillary skates! She’s our next Preezy of the United Steezy!
Get used to it, peons!
If the GOPe is successful in its current trashing and backstabbing of Donald Trump, Hillary will become our next president.
Great bumper sticker:
Be like Bill. Choose anyone but Hillary.
The Deja Vu part is that she is collecting money (yesterday she got $500,000 from some Pakistani’s, etc) and then when you lose, you get to keep the money.
She is toast.
Hello Joe Biden, do you still want to be President? The Washington Post would like you to be President!
