Hillary: All Done
Slublog's Photoshop Added
Not just mostly dead. All dead. Nothing to do now but check the pockets for coins.
I was working on writing this but Allah has of course beat me to it.
Not only does Hillary have no chance whatsoever now, but even she realizes this. At this point she begins pivoting, accepting her fate, to become a Gore-like figure, never to be president but to have sway within the Democratic party.
The idea of Hillary destroying the Democratic Party to get the nomination? Out the window. She would have done that if it were close, if it were not so clear she will never be President, but it's not going to be close and that is now clear even to her.
She will continue soldiering along, hoping for a break (as anyone would), but she will not go after Obama with brass knuckles at the next debate. There's no percentage in it for her. Her next-best option now is simply to be a beloved standard bearer of the liberal left.
And now that her presidential ambitions are scotched, she will move to unabashed left-liberalism, where her heart has always been, just like another loser, Al Gore.
I realize a lot of Republicans have been waiting for this, but honestly, she was always a very weak candidate easily defeated in the general, and only she was capable of unifying the Republicans behind the Maverick. I fear that the election is all but lost at this point.
Thanks... to slublog for the awesome 'shop.
