Maybe even a 50/50 chance of losing again is enough to push her internal panic button. Yet another potential reason for her panic is just the possibility of a nightmarish repeat of her blowing a second chance to be the first woman to be a US president. Only she and Bill really know if there is something to worry about but the circumstantial evidence looks bad for her. If Hillary’s internal polling can somehow account for a potential new wave of voters, this might have sent HRC down the rabbit hole of high anxiety and big time desperation.Īnother possibility for her panic is the expansion of the investigation by the DOJ about her emails as Secretary of State to include possible pay to play influence connected to the Clinton Foundation. Pointing fingers before the campaign corpse becomes a corpse just reeks of beltway cynicism that seems to be a core value of Team Hillary. This public criticism is amusing because it feels a bit like “experts” covering their butts to maintain their “expert” status. The consensus among these insiders was that it was a mistake to not play hard ball with Bernie early and often and that this allowed him to create momentum. Sanders will foment a large wave of first-time voters and liberals that will derail her in Iowa.” The article state the Clintons are “unnerved by the possibility that Mr. To back up this premise, a New York Times article interviewed 11 Hillary insiders. If these new voters come out of the woodwork as expected, Bernie could very well be looking at a big win in both states. Couple that with the latest polls of likely voters that have Bernie in a virtual dead heat with Hillary in Iowa and consistently have him being ahead in New Hampshire and the political winds appear to be blowing hard into Bernie’s sails. So the polls have not adequately taken into account this group of potential voters. In the Democratic primaries this bloc is virtually all on Bernie’s side. The polls which are based on “likely voters” have not been including this new wave of expected voters. This change includes energizing younger citizens and other previously apathetic citizens to want to vote. Very high levels of citizen anger have changed voting patterns. It took the genius pundits awhile before they finally recognized that this presidential election process is unique compared to those in the recent past. We will get to the details of the evidence of panic later but an intriguing possible reason for her panic is what she is seeing in her internal polling. A very curious question of the moment is, why is Hillary in panic mode? The evidence of her panic is fairly obvious given her campaign’s recent clumsy even amateurish attempts to attack Bernie.
