28. Here is why it will not happen if Hillary runs

Perhaps the only thing, but the one thing Hillary learned in 2008 is that you contest the caucus states. You run a 40+ state campaign not the old 22 state campaign. Contesting this broadly takes resources, specifically early cash, and lots of it. Wall street is where that comes from for the most part.

Hillary will not run the campaign she ran against Barack. It is still possible for a candidate to beat Hillary, but the cards will be heavily stacked against it. Just having lost the way she did in 2008, it will be far less likely for the outcome to repeat. Her supporters will organize in the places where she had no organization in 2008.

I like Elizabeth Warren, but 2016 will not be her time.
