Hillary at Home

[karynnj]

15. I give HRC credit enough to think that she is not laughing, but extremely concerned for the country

that she loves. I would bet that she is concerned that years of hard won gains could be blown up -- causing pain for those most vulnerable. Not to mention, the personal. Think of all the years, all the work, all the slings and arrows she exposed herself to to become President - the first woman to become so. I doubt anyone who became the nominee of either party ever gets completely past having come that close - and not winning. I suspect that - even as some speak of 2020 - she likely knows that that dream .. a dream that was close enough she likely could taste it -- is over.

I would bet that there are campaign operatives doing exactly what you suggest. Many of them, maybe even some of those who are most talented, might be doing exactly what you describe. To them, politics, though very serious, is also party a game which they know they excel at. They also know that everything happening now is something they could use to potentially win in the next challenge - in 2017 for a few governor races, 2018 for Congress and the Senate and then the Presidency. Many of them - especially the younger ones - likely know that there will be many races they work on and they could still be a top operative on a Presidential campaign that wins.
