16. She's Obviously Proud of Her IWR Vote
Hillary lost the netroots last weekend once and for all by inviting us to "look for other candidates" if we feel the IWR is a defining issue in choosing a candidate. Hillary's gamble is triangulating her in a very bad position and she's trying to buy and fudge her way around it...and it's backfiring badly.

What gets to be insulting is the claim Hillary wants a "dialogue" with Democratic voters, yet she stays on her talking points and is attempting to create her own reality and echo chamber to outshout her critics. She's sooooo scared of the right wing and Repugnicans, she's willing to piss off the majority in her own party to prove she's "not weak". Sorry, Hillary, this Democrat won't be bought off with "get on the bandwagon" or let her paper over this vote with money.

Whomever the Democratic candidate is next year, be assured their IWR vote or stance on that vote will be a defining issue. It addresses the candidate's character and integrity. IMHO Hillary's problem is she's trying so hard to avoid being slammed and attacked by people who will never vote for her, she just alienated many who were on her side but she's lost in the past few weeks.
