In reply to the discussion: WaPo: Hillary Clinton’s desultory campaign is sinking [View all]libdem4life
(13,877 posts)Clintons four problems are obvious:
1. Her performance as a candidate, (No rallies, mostly meting with rich donors...what "little people"?)
2. her opponents viability, (He's caught up and passing her)
3. a growing scandal that could lead to the indictment of the former first lady and possibly a few of her closest aides, (this is not rhetoric...it is deadly serious, even though Bernie tried to take it off the table. The FBI does not agree. Seems politics, i.e. the Justice Department, is trying to get it put off a few weeks, or maybe they haven't finished with the wiped servers of her top staff)
4. the rejection of her legitimacy as a feminist leader. (the unfortunate behavior of her husband ... many thinking she stayed for the power ... has a lot to do with this and her disdain for the poor and underemployed...heavily populated by women...)
She has these problems for a long time...all except the surprising #2 on the list.
