Hillary Clinton Struggles to Find Footing in Unusual Race
NY Times ^ | May 28, 2016 | AMY CHOZICK, ALEXANDER BURNS and JONATHAN MARTIN

Posted on 05/28/2016 2:20:14 PM PDT by Innovative

Democrats could hardly believe their good fortune last month when it became clear that Hillary Clinton was headed to a general election showdown with Donald J. Trump. Mr. Trump carried so much baggage and had insulted so many voting blocs that some Clinton supporters began to imagine a landslide.

But early optimism that this would be an easy race is evaporating. In the corridors of Congress, on airplane shuttles between New York and Washington, at donor gatherings and on conference calls, anxiety is spreading through the Democratic Party that Mrs. Clinton is struggling to find her footing.

They don't/won't get it. Trump's insults and nastiness - directed at such deserving targets - are among the main reasons he is poised to grab the Presidency.

The real story is not what's in the article but the fact that DNC official mouthpieces like the New York Times and Washington Post are starting to raise these sort of questions at all instead of running interference for her, as would be expected if her grip on the party were as secure as she'd have the public believe.

One can only imagine the behind-the-scenes maneuvering going on. Really, the only thing Hillary has going for is the threat to take down as many others with her (starting with Obama) if she's brought down. That's the only calculus that will matter between know and the convention. The D angst is whether they can force her out with minimal damage or have to acquiesce to her going down in flames in the general and try to salvage what they can for the next 4 or 8 years under Trump.

I always thought that the Clintons threatened everyone around them - they have all the FBI files, after all, and have probably looked at the most recent and updated ones. Charming couple - sort of like the Goebbels.

I read the following comment at Conservative Treehouse.

What do you think?

“It’s been pointed out, the lack of a password is further proof that this whole server thing is a deliberate sale of secrets by the clintons. Donations come in to their vile “charidee” foundation, in return for access to whatever was put on the server.

Make a payment, the witch puts your requested items on the server for your convenient theft.

hillary clinton is a traitor and should be tried and executed as one. After the treason laws are restored.

For some odd reason, right across the anglosphere, treason laws were quietly abolished a little while ago…”

Struggling to find her footing is nothing new for that lush.

The grifter lost her mojo, cant fool nobody none of the time.

Fitting and appropriate, to lose to someone loathed by the left.

Witnessing her demise is in itself worth the price of admission, however, as a bonus, we get a clean up crew in there to fumigate the stench she and her ilk leave behind, especially that bozo what sits in the hut and dreams of further destroying this country.
