14. Why should I reconsider anything?
I never said Pres. Obama thinks her win is inevitable.

I only said I do not believe he thinks she is going to lose.

There is a difference between realizing there is a chance she could lose and thinking she will lose. Don't you agree? Perfectly sound and right logic.

So, rethink your logic. Because the article says nothing about Pres. Obama thinking she would lose if he didn't go up there. Just that the campaign believes she would lose - regardless of what he does.

If they think that, why risk it? If she's pretty much done anyway, why go up there and campaign if the end result is something that will hurt you?

Exactly.

Pres. Obama and his administration probably realizes there is a chance she could lose. So to make sure it doesn't happen, they went up there to campaign.

But I can tell you right now no president is going to stick his neck out there for a candidate they've already conceded will lose badly. Especially in a race everyone will follow and everyone will claim is a potential prediction of what's to come.

Now does that mean she won't lose? No. But again, and I'm sure you get it, there is a big difference between thinking someone CAN lose and WILL lose.
