She was already deemed the next President by the news media, so why put in more effort if it is already yours?
People still could not stand her!
Reminds me of the 2002 Winter Olympics at the women’s figure skating competition. Michele Kwan was the favorite to win the gold and that was the big talk for weeks that the gold was hers to lose. Well she ended up losing the gold and had to settle for the bronze. Why? She listened to the hype about the gold being hers, and skated a very safe program with no particular flare to her performance. Even her costume was just plain and very blah. But another skater, whose name escapes me now, went out there and skated her heart out with complicated jumps and footwork and looked sparkling on the ice. This is what overconfidence will do.
