As a Hillary supporter I am a bit concerned about the bubble wrapping.

I can see both sides of the issue... By letting the Republicants tear each other apart during their primaries the eventual winner will be battered and forced to take positions so far to the right that it will be hard for him or her to return to the center for the general election. The "smart" people said that was one of Romney's problems... And without serious primary opposition Hillary will be relatively unscathed. She will almost be a quasi incumbent.

On the other hand her opponent will have been vetted and will have a lots of campaign experience including debates. You wouldn't want a boxer to fight for a title without some tune up fights.

It's a dilemma. I just want to win.

She also has campaign and debate experience.

People around these parts would say "This ain't her first rodeo".

she is married to the come back kid.
And so she has years of training and continues to train, she'll do fine . If she runs of course-as it is she hasn't officially committed
as a candidate.
