All of those points except (1) and (5) were true of Lyndon Johnson back in ‘68.
With respect to (1), The US wasn’t in a recession in ‘68 (one started in ‘69).
As far as (5) goes, Johnson folded and went home when a real challenge became a possibility. I don’t think Hillary’s smart enough to do that.
>>> I don’t think Hillary’s smart enough to do that.
Oh, I think Hillary is smart enough to know that. But she just doesn’t care.
She’s counting on the mass media and her Dem machine to cover for her completely. And it might still work. Her ambition (life long obsession) is just too great, it is all about her and now is her time (Obama stole it from her 2008).
