Hubris.
Advertisements [?]
hu·bris -- excessive pride or self-confidence; arrogance.

-Offering the Vice Presidency to the candidate you are losing to.
-Telling voters that do not go your way that they don't count, or they are too black, or they drink lattes.
-"Yes she will" vs. "Yes we can"
-Demeaning idealism in favor of the cyicism that gets the media to slobber.
-Thinking you can outsmart the American people after they've been fooled once.
-Demanding Michigan and Florida be counted in a way that only benefits you.

Hillary believes she is owed the Presidency. She is not. Period.

I bring this up because hubris is not a trait that has served our current President well.
