Hillary Clinton survived a Super Tuesday scare. But there are five big reasons the former first lady should be spooked by the current trajectory of the campaign.

Longtime Clinton friends say she recognizes the peril in careening between near-death primary night experiences and small-bore victories.

Although the friends did not have details, they believe she may go ahead with the campaign shake-up she had been planning just before her surprise victory in New Hampshire.

Her team is girding for trench warfare, telling reporters that the nomination will not be decided until at least the Pennsylvania primary on April 22, if then.

Clinton aides told reporters on a conference call today that the Democratic Party’s complex delegate allocation rules mean that neither candidate is likely to take a sizable lead in the foreseeable future.

While Clinton’s campaign gloated about having the most total delegates for the cycle so far, her staff nevertheless recognizes that Super Tuesday was no triumph. Here’s why:

11. LOL

LOL, yeah Hillary is a joke!!!!!!!

14. No she is a formidable candidate and we may both still end up with her

so I don't call her a joke. But I don't think she's the right candidate for the changes we need. The conservative era is dead, her politics fit that era. Not good for the new direction we must now go in.

15. She is not ahead in delegate count. You can keep repeating that until

the cows come home and it still will not be true.
