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.

1. This is what happens in a democracy when a political party circumvents the will of it's members

And crams a candidate down their throats.

4. Absolutely true.

Let them eat nothingburgers isn't going to work.

6. Circumvents the will of it's members? Who chose Secretary Clinton by 3+ million votes?

8. Only because of DNC manipulation

Had the DNC not manipulated the elections every way possible, the outcome would be wildly different.

9. No, not likely ... just another in a long line of excuses from a bitter 2nd place finisher n/t

2. maybe she should take off the flip-flops.

Might help her footing.

3. Like that one! eom

5. Honestly, I think if she wins the primary

She will be POTUS.

Trump is the Clinton chosen Republican candidate, he is #WithHer. The General election will just be 5 months of Grand Guignol.

7. "But early optimism that this would be an easy race is evaporating."

I know the New York Times likes this narrative but I haven't seen anyone inside the Clinton campaign or, Democratic pundits, suggest they ever thought this would be an easy race. The electorate is still pretty much 50/50 Democratic/Republican....
