Chart shows support for the Hildebeest tanking fast

In 2008, Hillary Clinton saddled up for the Kentucky Derby on a thoroughbred that was a sure thing. Her campaign was the finest colt in Kentucky, at odds that barely made it worth betting on her. The race began, and she was up by a quarter mile. Then, as another jockey started to gain, she slipped out of her saddle. She was barely hanging on, bumping along against the dirt, bruised and struggling and still hanging in there a half-a-length back. And then she lost and grudgingly wished the victor luck in winning the Triple Crown.

So you have to figure that, when 2016 rolled around and everyone was saying, "No, this horse is a sure thing," she was a bit wary. But she got on. She ran strong. She did well. And now, in the final turn, there might be something wrong with the saddle.

Tanking or not, there's certaining something to be said for the Kentucky Derby metaphor.

#2 Sending Chelsea out to attack The Bern is a sign of desperation. 2008 all over again?

#3 I'd say worse. The number of old people dying off who watch MSM or actually read dead tree media has been accelerating while more and more of the newer group are linked to internet one way or another. The Permanent Party Propaganda machine is losing its one solid grip. And the Alinsky principle of making them live up to their own message has come home to roost with Bill's personal war on women.

#4 The only question left is who we will be running against this year. Some say Sanders, but there is a case to be made for Biden, Fauxcahontas and even Jerry Brown.

It would not surprise me to see one of these candidates simple step in and take over Hillary's existing organization. She has been placeholding for a reason after all.

#5 Blue Collar Males like Trump. Millennials like Sanders. Blacks don't seem to care this time. Women are starting to believe Bill's sex history (and Hillary's attacks) are not some vast right wing conspiracy after all.

I think a tipping point is very near and the Clintons know it.

#6 ValJar will manage the drip of FBI information in a slow moving crescendo until the Hidabeest sees the certainty of an indictment, and they decide to duck and cover in exchange for a "medical" exit. Then Uncle Joe, now ValJar and Iran's new friend, with fauxcahontis as the VP nominee, rescue the party and ride to victory against the Trump, collecting the independent voters that cannot stomach that egomaniacal modern PT Barnum.
Iran and the Shia dominance of the ME begins, and we slide further into massive debt and civil unrest. I pray I'm wrong!
