Remember the tv commercial where the dog licks the infants ice cream cone?

I think that's the moment the HRC campaign is experiencing.

Trump is supposed to be a sitting duck. An easy target in any debate that gets beyond personality and name calling. Some conspiracies about this election cycle suggest that is no accident. In any case, it's sure looking like HRC supporters are royally pissed off that Sanders threatened to take the first lick outta that ice cream cone.

And this nasty little spoiler arrived just as the State Dept OIG report crashed the narratives spun for a year with a cudgel of reality.

You can understand how it's not possible for HRC supporters to thrash the Obama administration on this, and if you have any empathy you grasp how frustrated they must be. It's like there is a vast left-wing conspiracy operating. And you'd get how great their urge to lash out is.

It requires displaced emotions. Oh, that mean old white guy! He's a perfect target for such venting.

correct him, inform him, and will make him look foolish. I don't think it will get mean or nasty, but we will see them both at their game..
