Hillary's week soars; for GOP, not so much
Republican field splinters even more

Associated Press

WASHINGTON – After a pivotal week, the presidential race has become a tale of two parties on sharply different trajectories: Hillary Rodham Clinton has tightened her grip on the Democratic nomination, while Republican concern is reaching new heights. Some officials are even considering what could turn into a GOP civil war to stop Donald Trump – with no fallback option.

Clinton took what was essentially a victory lap Friday, cheered by excited Democrats a day after her strong performance during an 11-hour, Republican-led probe of the 2012 Benghazi attacks. The former secretary of state’s high marks for the congressional hearing capped a week in which three of her five Democratic rivals bowed out of the race – none more important than Vice President Joe Biden, who said he would not be getting in.

2. I think they left someone out. Shouldn't that be "three of her six Democratic rivals"?

Unless they don't count O'Malley as a rival? And what about Lessig?

4. I think they just count the folks that were at the debate

two of which have dropped out already.

6. Perhaps so. It just struck me as strange, since they mentioned Biden by name.
