Does this remind anyone of The Tortoise and the Hare?


Hillary had already turned to the general election....

I guess she thought she had already passed the finish line, and lo and behold, that little tortoise came waltzing on by.

GO BERNIE!

Steady wins the race. She is shooting herself in the foot w/her sneaky, snarky tactics & twisted rhetoric.

and she has nowhere to go but down. Bernie has nowhere to go but up. Everyone knows her and nobody knows him---yet. She cannot attract new voters, he can. It's really simple.

The more people learn about Bernie the more voters he takes from her 'polls'.

Welp, I was thinking more along the lines of a blatant reveal of a hispanic VP choice that would kick Florida and all-parts west into overdrive. I don't think she can wait until after a nomination for that, and it immediately gives her another voice to spread out across the country in a real way. I honestly don't know the rules about that, but Debbie would look the other way. I suppose you can hint all the way up to the actual naming of someone without going 'official'.

Her main problem is herself. She needs to take the spotlight off HER in time for her to swipe Florida. Afterall, she's already done with her southern states. It would put Texas in play with Castro in the long run, so I predict him at this point.

But can use a few folks like the Castro brothers.

And I am thinking not one, not two, but many kitchen sinks including more coded antisemitism. We have yet to begin seeing that. And lord knows we already have.

She herself floated Julian Castro as a VP pick months ago -- I remember it caught my attention because it was such an unusual thing to do and I saw it as a serious attempt to undermine Sanders at a time he was making the first inroads into the Latino/Hispanic community.
