Repost from GD-P Clinton in freefall as bernie gets highest lever ever in national poll

[winter is coming]

8. I don't think Hillary and her most ardent supporters ever accepted that some Dems just flat out

don't want her. They've been hugging the assumption that people voted for Obama because it was "historical," which is odd, as it would have been historical either way. Think about her big slogan: "Ready for Hillary." It sort of implies that she would have won in '08 if only the unwashed had been "ready" for her awesomeness. The notion that we were ready for a female President, but didn't want it to be her, has been kept at arm's length all these years.

There are still Hillary supporters who think folks on "the left" don't want Hillary because they're sexist, despite all the enthusiasm displayed for a Warren candidacy. It's the sort of pretzel logic you see in people who think that everything is someone else's fault.
