PANICKY HILLARY STARTS SHOUTING
You can turn the volume back up on your televisions, the Democratic debate is done and the shouting has ended.
Apparently believing that commitment and sincerity can be measured in decibels, Hillary Clinton turned up the volume in Sunday nights showdown with rival Bernie Sanders.
She also matched her louder volume with sharper attacks on Sanders. But the Vermont socialist came ready to fight, counterpunching and even landing a few blows. Youd have to give him the win, if only narrowly, on the grounds that not only did he dominate the discussion but that she was strangely treating him as the frontrunner.
Or maybe it was just that she was trying to fight on Sanders turf. Hes been shouting since before it was cool. Clinton seems to be abandoning the mantra of her campaign Im a fighter for an effort to approximate the anger that candidates on both sides of the aisle have been trying, with varying degrees of success, to ape.
But its hard to believe that Clinton is angry, or at least that she is angry about something other than the fact that her party seems to delight in spurning her. Life has been very good to the Clintons over the past 16 years, to say the least. Except for the politics part.
Clinton and her crew could assuage themselves after her 2008 primary loss that they were victims of history the sudden ascendance of a gifted, African-American candidate was more of a force of nature than a reflection of her political weakness.
But what if she were struggling with a guy who was deeply white and five years older than her? What if the guy this time was not a gifted speechmaker but one who gave shout-y campaign boilerplate in a Brooklyn honk? What if he had been honking around Washington for 25 years and was generally written off as a crank?
It has apparently all been enough to rattle Clinton, whose onetime indulgence of Sanders has turned into attacks and who seems to be on the verge of yet another campaign reboot.
Tied or trailing Sanders in the first two nominating contests, its hard to say shes wrong. A huge lead in South Carolina and what, last month at least, was a wide advantage in Nevada still suggest that Clinton isnt yet in danger of being toppled a second time and that her strategy of aggressively pursuing black v**ers and other parts of the Obama coalition is paying off.
But would those leads look so stout if Clinton were to lose the first two contests? Certainly not. Just ask South Carolina Democratic powerbroker Rep. Jim Clyburn, who told the NYT, The reality is, if Mrs. Clinton loses Iowa and New Hampshire, that could create new and real problems for her here.
As of now, you can still call Clinton the presumptive Democratic nominee, but we are now seeing a scenario in which she might have to waste several damaging months on a fight that will harm her general e******n chances and distract public attention from the bazooka blasts on the GOP side.
