It is pretty obvious that the democratic coalition has not really embraced her outside of the abortion uber alles crowd. One wonders if they simply took Obama’s numbers from 2008 and 2012 and transposed them onto the election this year. If so, they are in for a rude awakening because Trump is picking up support from all of their hyphenated supporters. If he splits even 10% the odds favor him. If he reaches 20% the odds are overwhelmingly in his favor despite what the media says. On top of that, the typical “get on the bus and go vote” crowd of the DNC has no enthusiasm for her and the Sanders primary definitely hurt her much more than Trump was harmed in the primary (Ted’s ego withstanding).
However, the big money interests are still donating to her. The fact that they are still doing so, expecting a return on their money, makes me very nervous. We can write off some of it as the usual throwing around of cash (it’s almost budgeted for these guys), but at some point they would stop wasting money if she was really in deep trouble.
Combine this with her incredibly low energy campaign and the confidence of the MSM and I feel like there is some inside joke that we can’t see. There has to be a rational basis for her disappearance and confidence. What am I missing?
I think I agree. She is indeed walking a fine line between bullshitting her erstwhile supporters she’s still viable and she’s doing a reasonable job of keeping her media sycophants and lackeys keeping that tired old 90s narrative going trying to update it with relevancy to today. It is all sorely NOT WORKING. It isn’t working because she ISN”T ‘today’ and neither is that horseface daughter of privilege of her’s. That family is the worst example of so-last generation f@ckups many would like to forget.
I honestly believe it is getting down the Hitlery down in the Berlin Bunker time - waiting for today’s equivalent of Russian hordes to acquaint them with today’s reality.
MSM daily tv coverage makes it look like she doing events every day and is energetic. Smiling, talking, moving around on stage. The LIV only knows this positive image they see every night on tv. She doesn’t need to do events. Don’t kid yourselves, she will show up at the debates. She already has the questions and has memorized detailed answers. She will look and sound good. She will be juiced up on something. No Olympic style drug testing.
Big money donors are not always very well informed about politics.
Big money spent millions and millions on the Swedish pro-Euro campaign in 2003. They lost “bigly”and then a few years later they were happy they did when the euro-crisis hit.
Big money supported the anti-Brexit campaign - they lost! And the British economy still looks good compared to the rest of the EU economy.
But, according to Trotsky (and he should have known!) the one thing worse than trusting your enemy is not to take his threats seriously. So let’s keep our eyes and ears open.
