"The Far Left"? WTF?

285. And there is plenty to ridicule her about.

She could of course play the victim and rale at the nasty press that is picking on her. But how well would that sell with voters?

She has many good qualities and is a great leader on issues concerning women and children at least in terms of what she says and how she present herself in forums on that issue.

But I think she has a lot of vulnerability as a candidate.

The Republicans are worse, but in general, they have the corporations who own the media on their side.

You are touching on precisely the greatest vulnerability that Clinton has and that I have been pointing out.

Put yourself for a moment in the shoes of Karl Rove. (I know it's a disgusting thought, but part of strategizing is to think as your opponent would or is likely to think.) How would you attack and bring down each of the potential Democratic candidates? Then figure out which is the least vulnerable to effective attack. All candidates are vulnerable. Hillary is one of the most vulnerable. And also one of the most challenging because of the adoration she enjoys from her base. But it is easy to chip away at a candidate's base if you take an issue dear to that candidate's base and show the candidate to be hypocrtical about it.

We do the same thing with the Republicans.

No candidate will be invulnerable. But some are more vulnerable than others. Hillary hopefully has a plan to deal with this other than just playing the victim.
