5. Whipsawed Hillary.

Swing to the right; swing to the left.

This is going to be interesting and maybe even fun.

So, before Michigan, Hillary wanted to "broaden her appeal" by moving even further to the right to preempt Trump in the general election and steal Repuglican votes from him.

But, to her surprise, the Democrats are done yet.
So, will she now have to reengage on the left to tie down renegade Sanders voters?

What is a girl do to?
(Colloquialism.)

I'll bet she has eyes as big a dinner plates all day today because this Sanders Michigan phenomenon is 2008 all over again and that just isn't supposed to happen.

Which Hillary will we all see now? Left Hillary or Goldwater Girl Hillary?

This really is the worst possible situation for Mrs. Clinton. Her being on every side of every issue for the past 30 years is going to make whichever direction she chooses look like one of pure political expediency -- which is exactly why people don think she is honest and trustworthy in the first place.
