Jon Stewart: "Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe a real person doesn't exist underneath there"

25. Clinton has a well connected clique of friends...

At the end of the day she is close friends with most of the DNC inner circle, the Clinton brand and dynasty is strong in the Democratic party and she has a lot of big donor, and media allies.

To put it lightly, she has a strong institutional support and the Clinton Dynasty at her back which is no small matter. Even to have so badly wounded her, and still have potential to win (However slim). She is...... well its hard to say what she is other than someone seeking power. In a sense I'd compare her to Petyr Baelish of the Song of Ice and Fire books. She understands power and what power brings and wants it.

But, her anemic performance reveals her inherent weakness with people not invested emotionally in the DNC. Her main appeal is she is a Clinton who has institutional support. Plus the fear of a Trump presidency and Republican government. Even with that and all she has she does poorly, winning Democrats largely on the "I am a Clinton," message. Which again, is no small thing.

Sanders has grievously wounded her, he may yet even best her, and that is a testament to her nature and how obvious it is to many people. Even with every possible advantage, and an opposition more reviled than most things, even cartoonishly hated, she still struggles.
