Hillary Clinton’s Big Week Is the Turnaround We Expected
By Rich Robinson @robinsonwins


For her to lose, someone on the Democratic side must bring her down. Bernie Sanders won’t do it. Martin O’Malley isn’t credible enough to do it. And who are Lincoln Chaffee and Jim Webb? Biden’s recent exit from the race was advantageous, because he would have had the credibility to attack Clinton. I believe one reason he did not run is that he didn’t want the job if that was the only way he could get it.

So the path is now clear for Madam President. A few weeks ago she couldn’t win; now she is unstoppable. This too will change over the course of the long campaign. But if Hillary Clinton has shown one trait to be admired, it is her resilience in the face of adversity.

1. I think most Hillary supporters knew she would overcome it all eventually..

but I'm sure most didn't expect all in one week!

3. What a week!

And a big chunk of it was an absolute gift from the teahaddist bastards themselves on the witch hunt committee!

4. It was very smart of her to insist on a public hearing.

It was a free 11 hour campaign ad highlighting her tenure as SOS and how competent and knowledgeable she is about foreign affairs. Yes, it was gift from the Republicans.

5. Keep up the good work republicans! LOL

2. Over confidence is a double edged sword, and the primary has a long way to go

I don't know if the republicans will continue the Kangaroo Benghazi Court or not, but they will continue to spew it out through the MSM, and the campaign will have to keep up with that continuously, if we are to learn anything from the lessons of John Kerry and the "swift pukes".

There are also five more scheduled debates, with the media just waiting for a "gotcha" moment, that will saturate the airwaves 24/7.

No question this was a good week for her, but nothing should be taken for granted. In my view that would be a big mistake.

Remember President Obama in the second debate I believe against Romney. He was tired, and didn't perform up to par. While I personally thought he did fine, the media was slamming him for his "dismal debate performance", and the subsequent poll numbers reflected such.

6. Democracy at it's finest.

So the path is now clear for Madam President.

7. One might say gender doesn’t matter, but it does in this election.

yes, I believe it does--for sure!

.....In the 2008 primary, Hillary got beat by enthusiastic Barack Obama supporters who showed up at caucus meetings. Hillary won Texas primary, for instance, but the delegate vote was even because Obama won the Democratic caucuses. Obama won the caucus in Iowa, lost the primary in New Hampshire—but prevailed because of the math of the rest of the nation. Clinton won California, but Obama won the delegate count nationally.

The Clinton campaign learned from that experience and is motivating the mass of women supporters who felt cheated last time. They had an experienced, qualified woman candidate who lost to a relatively inexperienced African-American man. The takeaway from that experience was that the system is more misogynist than racist.

One might say gender doesn’t matter, but it does in this election. It matters greatly because we have never had a woman President. In an equally qualified race, Hillary deserves the job for that reason. And this time around, she has no problem articulating that very point............
