Hillary Clinton is experiencing much the same phenomenon. Both she and Jeb were "The anointed ones" before they decided to run ... both wore auras of inevitability ... then the press tore them to shreds after they actually got in the race. In this day and age, when you can be digitally eviscerated in the blink of an eye with a malicious tweet, it amazes me that anyone is still willing to put themselves through the hell of running for President. It amazes more that Hillary Clinton has somehow managed to persevere through the barrage of crap tossed at her for the past 25 years. It's a testament to the amazing strength and resilience of the woman, and it's why I support her candidacy as strongly as I do.
