Barry,
Here's an excellent answer in response to the skit and why Hillary
isn't winning, a sobering, dead-on answer, so to speak:
"Sexism had nothing to do with it; polishing some perceived glass
ceiling had nothing to do with it; falling in wild partisan love with
an upstart, virtual unknown from Chicago had nothing to do with it;
nor did lampooned rumors of sniper fire or campaign mismanagement or
last-ditch demagoguery or anything else so commonly floated.
It was, rather, since Iowa -- which was the first and in many
respects the final game-changer -- fundamentally about a progressive
revulsion against any politician so callous as to trade human lives
for mere political advantage. For Hillary, her Corleonelike prowar
vote was nothing personal; it was just business. Fine. But in turn,
for the vast majority of those who opposed her then and oppose her
now, the same can be said: this was, and is, nothing personal toward
Hillary. It's just the proper business of progressive politics."
