Tming is a big deal in politics, and Hillary Clinton’s timing is rotten.

She’s running a campaign for president on the argument that she is the most carefully prepared, judiciously educated candidate for the White House — at a time when many voters want to cast their lot with newcomers.

She’s set a table full of nuanced policy prescriptions to solve the problems at hand. Voters, many of them anyway, want someone to smash the plates.

1. If things were going swimmingly

Then "more of the same" would be warranted.

But we've made a wrong turn somewhere and there's no sense traveling down the same road. All Hillary is promising is "more of the same."

2. 74 and 2008.

Those are the only numbers in this article -- and they refer to Bernie's age and the last contested primary, respectively.

If you're going to make sweeping generalizations about who's winning or losing a campaign, and you're a professional political reporter (and this person is), then either you have to give numbers, or you have to use weasel words like "many of them anyway" Decker is a professional, but she also wants readers.
