In reply to the discussion: Hillary's electability is largely political myth at this point [View all]QuestionAlways
(259 posts)Hillary has been running for 9 years, and I would be very surprised if she had not gotten the organizational and establishment support of the democratic party. She is the safest bet there is, and the pro's like safe. The last time she also had these advantages, so she just sat back and waited to be handed the prize. She did not realize Obama was a revolutionary figure, the first black man who had a realistic chance to be POTUS. She learned from the last time and will not make the same mistake again.
This time she is not sitting back, and she is also the revolutionary figure, the first woman who has a realistic chance to be POTUS. And unlike last last time, this time she is calling attention to it. This is why other possible candidates know they really have no realistic chance of winning, so they are avoiding the race
