16. Yup, arrogant insofar as believing she could not be beaten. Reminds me of General Lee at Gettysburg
when he lost there. He thought he was invincible, that if he asked his motivated and loyal troops to take the union center they would do it. He thought he and his Army of Northern Virginia were invincible, and it was his doom ! Same can be said of Napolean. Same can be said of so many throughout history. Shakespeare put it best in Macbeth when talked about "vaulting ambition
over-reaching itself". Do that, and one becomes both arrogant and ignorant, and it all usually ends in a downfall, as we are seeing with Hillary. For her it is a personal tragedy. She is having a TOUGH time coming to grips with it. She and her team are BUMMED, BIGTIME.
