1. How appropriate...
...the "Big Dog" has been "muzzled."

You can understand though. He's got to be pretty upset, and his emotions
are running high. He's probably more upset than Hillary, because she's
got to keep up her hectic pace for a while. She's running on adrenaline and
probably a bit of denial.

He's probably feeling a bit more raw.

2. He's been a loose cannon - sure. But I think Penn & Co are doing more harm at this point.

...balls to the wall.

I really don't think there's anything wrong with that strategy.

I think Bill is so drenched in emotions, and really he's appalled that
this young whippersnapper has swept up the nation.

I'm in Iowa, and you wouldn't believe the arrogance of Hillary's
campaign here. I've written long posts about it. They were soooo
haughty and inaccessible. Hillary didn't answer media questions.

They also rolled in and unleashed a ton of dirty tricks.

The chief political reporter at Des Moines Register reported that
Hillary's rationale for why she should receive their endorsement--was
that she would be the eventual nominee, so she should get the
endorsement.

They thought they had this in the bag. They were just going through
the motions of a primary--expecting to sweep every state.

For years, they planned on this being a slam dunk. They are probably
dealing with a lot of denial and a ton of really raw emotions.

3. Bill was the first symptom of how out of control
the HC campaign was. The fact that nobody was in charge of him made us all look and eventually notice that nobody was in charge of anything else either.

The implosion of her campaign has not been Hillary's fault. But then she was the one who hired all these incompetent dolts in the first place. So maybe she does share some of the responsibility.
