. . . she'll have an opponent. Likely an unknown, untested one with a wealth of space to tag them with something or the other.

This is a consequence of Clinton hanging her neck out this soon, but I'll give her credit for believing she can run a two-plus year campaign with enough energy and luck to win.

Just wait for her challenger, then judge whether she's in trouble.
