Honestly, I was spoiled by the result in Michigan. I actually, factually thought that Illinois would be berning up the polls yesterday. Pity that he only closed a 23 point gap by 21 points. (which is still a heck of an accomplishment.) Losing to her in her home state? By such much? It makes me wonder what would have happened after another week, given the trend lines.

Still, Bernie has and is running a great campaign, and things are not over yet. Lots of things can happen, and it is telling just how that bucket of Reality Tee & Vee slimeball focused his attack as of last nacht.

Let's take a short trip and fall through memory lane.
I always thought that Rubio was ShallowMan. One week of attacks by Trump, and he eventually became toast. Bernt toast.
I always thought that Christie had skeletoids taking refuge inside his torso. One week of attacks by Trump, and he eventually faded into some bridgework (not the toothy kind).
I always thought that Cruz was a creepy, sadistic, vile ass. One week of attacks by Trump, and he came in second or third in every state yesterday.

Despite the promos about Hill, she has many issues and problems that will ruin her candidacy. I still think that she has really poor judgment, several major blind spots about her abilities, her campaign, the people she surrounds herself with, and more. I think she would be an ineffective president, if she could beat out Trump. Honestly, I don't think we will ever find out.

When Trump is through demolishing her, she will be a figure of derision and laughter. She is internally brittle. Actually, Bill has been under attack and he thrived. She was not. Her run for the senate saw a New York press so tame, so quiet, I wondered where they hell they went?

I am convinced that she has some underlying health issues (heck, everyone does. Even Bernie's doc said, "For his age, he is in very good shape." She is not much younger than he.) I am positive that Trump has a line of attack on her venture capital ties, her Wall ties, and her arms dealing ties line up in a way that will amuse and excite his base, and turn off those indie voters with a mind or some level of ethics.

More than anything else, Trump is a set up artist. He sees the weakness, then sets up his victim to stick in the dagger. Hillary simply is not nimble enough to respond, and worse, she has a habit of being her worst enema. Of course, she will stick one of her feet in her mouth again, and not understand why people get upset. (it only happened 5 times so far, and Bernie has been quite polite and nice about it.)

We are seeing the election of Trump happening before our eyes. Possibly. One potential out would be if Hillary steps in it so badly, that by fiat, Bernie becomes the nominee. But, I am also sure that her protective bubble (which also causes her problems daily) is doing everything to blanket her and keep the most obvious faux pas from taking place. But that has the unintended impact of making her look wooden, even more soul-less, and poorly manufactured as a candidate.
