◼ The Hillary Clinton Paradox: Is her victory inevitable or impossible? - Peggy Noonan/Wall St. Journal
On the matter of Hillary Clinton’s candidacy I find myself holding opposite and irreconcilable views: “That can’t possibly work,” and “She’s inevitable.”
Her candidacy can’t work because of the deep, daily cascade of scandals that would disqualify anyone else....
Here is why Mrs. Clinton is inevitable:
...Mrs. Clinton has 100% name ID, has one opponent in an old socialist to whom she can be publicly kind, and is connected to a former president whose presidency is looked back on with a sort of encrusted nostalgia—good economy, relative peace, colorful and singular messes. She has lasted long enough to go from wide-shouldered yuppie with angry blond hair to cooing grandmother. Soon they’ll be calling her “Mami.”
