passage from Ernest Hemingway fits the moment. In The Sun Also Rises, one character asks, How did you go bankrupt? and another responds: Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.
The exchange captures Hillary Clintons red alert. Shes been going politically bankrupt for a long time, and now faces the prospect of sudden collapse.
If shes got a winning defense, she better be quick about it. The ghosts of scandals past are gaining on her and time is not on her side.
The compelling claims that she and Bill Clinton sold favors while she was secretary of state for tens of millions of dollars for themselves and their foundation dont need to meet the legal standard for bribery. Shes on political trial in a country where Clinton Fatigue alone could be a fatal verdict.
After 25 years of corner-cutting and dishonest behavior, accumulation is her enemy. Each day threatens to deliver the straw that breaks the camels back. It may already have happened and were just waiting for public opinion to catch up to the facts.
Meanwhile, her Houdini skills are being tested big time.
Hillarys one big advantage is obvious shes the only serious contender for the Democratic nomination, and she beats most GOP opponents in head-to-head matchups. But everything else weighs against her, including momentum.

Is this what you mean?

I don’t think its a ploy to get it out early, for her sake.
All of these things that are out are the sort that begs for investigation. And they are interconnected. And its been dripping out, in measured doses. And every new bit has been blindsiding the Clinton operation. If it were for her sake the whole dossier would have dropped at once, with positive spin arranged ahead of time.
You can see that behind whats out, there are a lot of other shoes ready to drop.
And the whole series of stories (7 or 8 so far this year including twists and followups) has come out of the MSM, from Bill’s sex island pal to secret email to Clinton foundation finances. Next week there will be something else.
Maybe the Enquirer story about Hilary’s girlfriends will get a “serious” article in the NYT style section.
Exactitude! Flying around aimlessly, burning up thousands of tons of jet fuel that contributes to global warming. Then arriving at the capitol of some third world cesspit and getting to glad hand the THUG in CHIEF!!!!
A sweaty, smelly encounter but Hillary seemed to revel in it. Hillary and Huma I should say
OMalley has a good looking wife and four handsome children. The Democrat image forgers are salivating at the chance to make him the next president.

Hillary just has to stumble seriously and Martin OMalley, who is Obama backed, will be ready to take over
Shes tanned, rested, and ready
The Dems and Hillary are stuck for now. She will have to leave the campaign probably before Fall. She will have to claim health reasons or some sort. Maybe fake a trip to the hospital.
I’ll believe it when the witch is in a melted puddle on the ground surrounded by her flying monkeys, er lackeys.
“Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.”

“My sources said she even used the N word often when she was in the Governors mansion in Arkansas.”
Anyone who had/has dirt on The Beast from the Arkansas days is either dead or in a self-preservation mode of silence.
Valerie Jarrett is engineering her ‘collapse’. Hillary isn’t liberal enough. Scary, huh?
But Elizabeth Warren IS liberal enough for VJ. That is why The Reptile met with Warren a few weeks before Clinton announced.
If I was Hillary, I would go on a scorched-earth campaign against Valerie Jarrett. I’d release secrets only Hillary will have access to. I’d even center my campaign on campaigning AGAINST Valerie Jarrett. She might even attract some moderate Republican voters that way.
Hill has to stay in the race just long enough so she can tell the ChiComs and the Russians that she earned all those millions they gave her and Billy Jeff for access.
What you fail to understand is this:
1. Polls taken this far away from the last week before the election are meaningless.
2. Assuming these polls had any meaning at all, at this point the inescapable fact is clear: HRC is far below 50% in all of them, and for no other reason than her name has been around the longest she is the titular "incumbent"
3. Her star is sinking, not rising. Meanwhile in the space of less than a month's time those who have announced are already well into the 40%'s where some started from positions in the single digits mere weeks earlier.
I doubt that Hillary even makes it to the primary; still every day she stays in the race she sucks the wind and dollars out of anyone else on the (D) side who would hope to mount a challenge.
The (D)'s have the long knives out for each other. Obama's and Clinton's hate each other as much as need each other and they will before long be turning on each other.
Wring you hands all you want over this poll nonsense. It's all a wasted effort.
You'll only be shown to be the sucker for placing so much credence in what is at this point so meaningless.
FReegards!
Whether she wants to be President or not, Hillary has to run.
She has to camouflage the money she stole from Libya.
... better than “them” (are)?
Maybe Bruce is priming for a remake of Mrs. Doubtfire.
